On behalf of a very well respected one time forum member here, I'd like to share with you all a new DVD that has become available. Here are his own words on this new exciting product release:
Hello Everyone
I am very pleased to say that the DVD of Derann At Pinewood is now available as a 2 disc special edition, if anyone doesn't know this is a souvenir DVD of the convention that Derann organised at Pinewood Studios in March 1989, we start off with the convention dinner which was held on the Saturday night before the convention on Sunday, Mr Peter Rogers, the producer of the famous Carry On films gives a very interesting talk plus we see scenes from the film show, the convention has the excitement of all the conventions but at the home of British Films, Pinewood studios, we see all the Derann gang, including "uncle" Derek himself plus others from the world of 8mm collecting including Ian from Perry's movies. Also on the disc is bonus features is Derann At Blackpool, Derann on TV and Derann on DVD.
The second disc comprises of Derann catalogues, newsletter and other interesting material from Derann plus other super 8 catalogues, these are in PDF form and you can print them off to keep and read forever, their is also a free copy of Acrobat Reader software which you will need to view or print the catalogues.
The Derann at Pinewood DVD was originally brought out by Derann on VHS tape and then briefly on DVD, the Simmonds family have agreed to let me bring this out again in a remastered version.
A donation to Cancer Research will be made from each sale of the DVD, this was at the request of the Simmonds Family in memory of Derek Simmonds, and I am only too please to do this.
If you would like a copy of this special 2 disc edition of Derann At Pinewood, the price is £10 plus £2 post and packing you can order this from my online web shop at www.amcs12sales.co.uk or you can phone Barry Attwood at Independent 8 who can take credit/debit card sales over the phone.
I hope that you will be able to support this
Best Regards to you all.
Worth the price for the Derann catalogues included, alone!
Also worthy of note is the fact that each purchase gives a little something towards Cancer research with the blessing of the Simmonds family. Many thanks to Anne and her family for this gesture and for sanctioning this new release!
Something else to note is the fact that this DVD has been completely remastered from any original footage previously seen and therefore is a far superior transfer than any previously encountered, I am assured.
Andrew.

I will check again Graham whether or not this disc is a region 2 disc with the distributor but I'm almost certain it is from what was said to me.
As said, in this day and age, it ought not cause too much inconvenience here wherever these finish up around the world. Any PC will play it and rip it if you'd like the DVD copy of it. A rip will produce the exact same quality as the original in whichever format you desire.
Most modern PCs nowadays have for some time, featured HDMI sockets incorporated into their input/ output sockets. This will allow the disc to be replayed through your television or digital projector directly as an alternative method.
Update:
Apologies everyone, I have just been reliably informed that the disc is in fact region free PAL in format, just like the others apparently were.
This means if you were able to play all the other BFCC discs on your players, then you will this one also.
Also for the benefit of Paul, who was asking earlier if any will be made available for the Blackpool event, then I have been informed that the organizer will be contacted to see if he wishes for some stock of this DVD to be shipped to him on a sale or return basis prior to the Blackpool event taking place this year. This is something that hopefully will confirmed, one way or another by the producer's of this DVD or the event organizer themselves.
Hope this update now helps here everyone. Apologies for my misunderstanding and any inconvenience caused
