Or a cupboard that, unbeknownst to the owner, sat in a damp riddled corner of the bedroom...I lost about 100 videos due to mould growing on the actual film itself (you could see it through the wee windows). That included every single episode of Beavis and Butthead (complete with music video critiques which are absent from the dvds), the first 4 series of the X-Files, the first 3 series of The Word; and Porco Rosso, which I would have to wait another 15 years before I was able to watch again. I was gutted about that one.Fred83 wrote:tbh guys thats all fine but none of it was idiot proof,we all probably known someone who didnt bother rewinding tapes, never cleaned the vcr head,left tapes near magnetic sources![]()
On the plus side, Ghostwatch and my Liquid Television recordings managed to survive in the middle of all these videos, which was a miracle...
