Just wanted to let folks know that this show, being offered in the U.K., is NOT the full show, it's only part 1 of a 2X400ft release. I contacted the gentleman, stating that he might want to let bidders know this fact, (as i know that I would be cheesed off if I expected the full show and only got half), but he hasn't updated the auction, so ... buyers beware, it's only the first 13 or so minutes.
This is the auction ...

No, you have the full version, which is 24 or so minutes, originally on broadcast TV. i have been talking with a very reliable source for info on this release from the U.K. and it's an interesting take!
I'm pretty sure that this wasn't sold as seperate reels, just on 2X400ft to begin with. What i bet happens is that the two reels get peperated and the seller doesn't realize it in most cases, but yes, it certainly fits snugly on a nice 600ft reel! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Brian!
Good man that you are, you have re-confirmed something that another film collector/seller stated to me, but i now have as an actual fact, and that is that this WAS in fact, released on L.P.P..
I must say that mine is on Kodak SP, but the colors have held up extremely well. The funny thing is that I noticed that, especially at the beginning of this film, the blacks are not perfect jet blacks (which I was attributing to Kodak SP), but then, when the fade in on the first shots (after the "Bug's Bunny Mystery Special" title card fades out), in the original cartoon footage from the 50's the building and such in the background have excellent blacks to them, so an interesting curiosity when it comes to the original source material.
Kudo's to the fine lads in the U.K. who released this, whoever you are ... specifically!
