Hi Andy, Thanks for getting back to me re the Valour and the Horror. I would certainly be willing to send monies for the films. If you would let me know if your friend can locate them and how much it would cost to purchase and send them I would much appreciate it. Cheers, Maryanne --Previous Message-- : Hi Maryanne, : The only way around getting the DVDS is to : get someone in Canada to buy them and post : them to you in the UK as the Canadian Film : Board will charge you extra to send them to : the UK as they do not have a licence to : broadcast them in the UK. : I have a contact who is a writer and has : written books on the Canadians in Hong Kong : and he may be able to send the DVDs to me : but at present he is in Mexico. : You can send UK Sterling via recorded : delivery as money orders are so expensive. : I was amazed how reluctant the Canadian Film : Board were to send me the DVDs as I really : love History and the Valour and Horror is a : very moving set of films. : Please get in touch if you need anymore info : : Andy : : --Previous Message-- : Hi there, : did you have any luck with the dvds?
