Yesterday
morning I had occasion to go out and about shopping. And as it happened I
called into one of the many charity shops in the town. As I perused the DVDs on
the shelves, the whole collection of the ‘Danger Man’ de Agostini DVDs 18 to 49
caught my eye. Then at the counter a young man was purchasing the Prisoner de
Agostini DVDs as pictured above. I wouldn’t have taken any further notice, if
it had not been for a singular occurrence. The young man was disappointed that
disc 14 was missing from the collection. Disc 14 being the episode ‘Living In
Harmony.’ As the assistant busied herself putting the discs into each cover, the
young man asked her if disc 14 had been left in the back room, and not put on
display with all the rest. But the assistant assured the customer that disc 14
was missing when the Prisoner and Danger Man de Agostini DVDs had been donated
to the charity shop. I had a secret sympathy with that young man, and
understood his disappointment. Because that’s how I had purchased the de
Agostini Prisoner DVD’s a few years ago, minus ‘Living In
Harmony’!

You didn't offer the poor chap your help by making a copy of the disc? How could you... ;-) - BCNU!
ReplyDeleteHello Arno,
DeleteThe thought never occured to me. However I know that as a collector only the real disc and the packaging would be sufficient to complete the set.

A strange coincidence and reminiscent of the 1960s screenings in the USA!

Hello ZM72,
DeleteGood to hear from you.
Now that is a coincidence, I had not thought of it like that, nice one.
I will be emailing you soon.

Astonishing that this should happen to someone else, I wonder if DeAgostini for some reason had some printing issues with that issue and made less than they did the others?

Hello Rick,
DeleteIndeed, Morag and I had had the same thought.
