and .... two days before that arrived, "Crocodile Dundee" (Optical sound) which I had been waiting for for almost two month's, (very slow mail, but it arrived)

She what must be obeyed shelled out and bought me a 2nd hand copy of Singin' In The Rain from Paul Foster Films. After receiving that gem, it was very hard to summon up excitement at the calendar featuring interesting colour photographs of clouds that her mother thoughtfully bought me. I've only dipped my toe into the stinking peat-bog of film collecting over the last year or so, but I now own 3 of my favourite ever feature films - The Jungle Book, The Railway Children, and Singin' In The Rain. Any shrink worth his salt might suggest that I was emotionally immature, but then he'd probably get a punch up the bracket!

This Friday I'll be falling in love with Debbie Reynolds all over again and on New Year's Eve some pals are coming round to watch the scope version of The Elephant Man that I bought just before the festive season began.

Whoopeeee!!!!!!!!

Kev,
Tired old question, but assuming there were none before this very modern era, Ecclestone or Tennant?

The only thing I have ever seen on 8 is the Peter Cushing version.

Actually, if you keep an eye out on eBay, you do sometimes see the occasional Doctor Who episode on Super-8.

Back in the 1980s, someone who worked in the BBC's film and videotape archive smuggled out a handful of the 16mm telerecordings for various William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton Doctor Who episodes from which he privately had his own 16mm and 8mm reduction print negatives struck, before returning the originals back to their respective shelves. From these, a number of 16mm and 8mm prints were made and it's these that then to turn up from time to time. They're only of odd episodes rather than complete stories, but they tend to feature some of the classic 1960s monsters such as the Daleks, Cybermen and the Yeti!

I had a super 8 print of the Patrick Troughton Dr. Who episode "Wheel in Space (3)" at one point -- sold it when I found a 16mm print though...

I think there are about a half dozen 25 minute shows that turn up now and again on super 8...
