    I know there are alot of re-runs on at the moment, but ya never seem to get the re-runs you want. Like say 'Michael Palin's Ripping Yarns'. I'm wondering about this because I was watching 'The Great Escape' the other day and it made me remember the episode 'Escape From Stalag Luft 112B'. 'Tomkinsons Schooldays' now there's another episode that deserves a good thrashing.

    Does anyone know that when the BBC opens it's archives to download are series like these going to be made available to us, and if so are there going to be any limitations or proviso's?

    Private Schultz too perhaps. But then there are things like UK GOLD to consider. Also the Beeb have a policy of not repeating (or they used to) stuff to often. (unlike sky who show an episode of the simpsons every eight hours)

    Michael Elphick great as Schultz, excellent anti-hero.
    Sad to see him end up all bloated on Eastenders before his death last year. Like to remember him as 'Boon' and 'Schultz' than in that moronic storyline in Eastenders (The show to give manic depressives something to live for.)

    The beeb has soooo many great series comic and dramatic
    that its a real shame they keep recycling the same half-dozen sit-coms. I'd love to see a BBC Classic channel where we the public could decide the output....it'll never happen of course.

    Mike.
