One thing i have noticed with the BFCC since the passing of the king of 8mm is the absence of the top man of Derann at the BFCC's,(unless i am wrong on this). I'm sure Adrian is a very busy person these day's but i wonder if ther'd be a chance of him being at one of the London events to follow in the Father's footsteps. Maybe a nice boost for the collectors to. [Wink]

Tom,

I've been trying to get Adrian down south since last years Blackpool, but one thing and another always seems to come up, but I think one of the main reasons is that Derann, in all departments, is run at a bare minimum of staff these days, and I would expect that Saturday's are there busiest time for there TV, DVD and Hi-fi side, and this is Adrian's forte. So there you have it, I will try again at this years Blackpool, but if he couldn't make it for the 50th, then what are the chances for the 51st or 52nd!

Tom/Barry

It must be tough for smaller companies like Derann. There is so much competition in the TV/HiFi/Video market these days that you can quite understand the lack of presence. It is amazing in itself that they are making enough money to suppor the film department.
