  So I thought that I might put my feet up and watch a DVD in order to escape the diet of football, Dr Who and other detritus etc that is on the box at the moment. Searching through my collection of BFI films I dug one out from 1980 that I hadn't seen before.
  
  Imagine my surprise when this handsome chap beamed out at me from the tv screen. I nearly choked on my glass of cheap white wine!

  It's available from Amazon:-

  The DVD's also show "Link Span", about the train ferry.
  
  In "Seaspeed Express" Nigel's voice has been dubbed!
  
  Cheapskates and FONC's can have a private viewing if they wish, bring your own popcorn.

  No idea Roger, I was never part of the elite circle. I'm sure the instigator Phil Eyden, or even Madam Chairman would know.
  
  The film was shot in 1980 which was about the time that I first met "our Nige". Ah, those sponsored pub crawls!
  
  Halcyon days.
