2,000 hamsters can't be wrong.

More VHS Memories 

Noticed that I also had The Lift on video, a half-hour comedy about nine people stuck in a lift, starring Paul Have I Got News for You Merton, Michael Radio Active/KYTV Fenton-Stevens, Gary Vicar of Dibley Waldhorn and Sam 'Allo 'Allo Kelly, among others. And then...wedged in between The Lift and some episode of Freddie Starr (why, oh why?)...there was about half a minute worth of Vestavind, a brilliant "family saga" that follows a couple or three families from the end of WWII to the mid-seventies (I think it was) - I saw the whole series twice and really, really wish I had taped it, because NRK (the TV company) obviously aren't interested in earning any money from the dramas they produce and simply refuse to release any of their older productions on DVD, VHS, Betamax, 8mm, Laserdisc, VCD or Viewmaster® reels. *cough* Myrna Vep *cough* More on that here (in Norwegian). Personally, I think it's amazing that they would release the Kamilla og tyven films, since it's been almost 20 years since they were made, but then again that has nothing to do with the NRK. Argh.
