He was a regular at the Rushden Cavalcade as you know, and will be missed by
many old iron and hot fog enthusiasts.

Many of the programmes that he nade will be released on DVD, so get an
all-region DVD player or get a Region 1 that is hackable and we'll give you a
shout when they are available.

We bought a Region 1 DVD player last year, having first checked the 'net to see
if it was in fact 'convertible to 'any region'. It was, and also had PAL output
and 120/240 auto-switching PSU, you had to read the tech manual!

There are plenty of hacks available for DVD players.
