It may be worth your while finding a company who can transfer the cassette to cd or even a digital file. There’s a chap in Wales who advertises on eBay that I’ve used many times who does a good job. -
Not sure whether to recommend or not. Watched the first episode of Paris Police 1900 - which oddly seems to be based on history. Rather gory, and I do wonder if the credits could actually say "No animals were harmed in the making of this film" with any honesty.
Even if that was legit, representing a live pig being killed - even in a fake sequence - is not pleasant viewing - and seemed like gratuitous violence. OTOH seeing body parts - again unpleasant - is perhaps something which police do have to come to experience from time to time, and the unwrapping of a torso from a bag is plausible.These things do sometimes happen I guess, and it's a matter of taste whether we should see them in dramas such as this.Comment

Zappa, a documentary aired on BBC FOUR last night, https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0010rl8/zappa
His opening remarks regarding the then future of Czechoslovakia have failed to blossom, unfortunately. Well worth watching.Comment

I did not like 'The Office', so over the years have tended to avoid Stephen Merchant. In the last wee while I have heard him on radio and seen him on TV and thought that I should stop the avoiding. I heard him plug his Bristol based show 'The Outlaws' over the weekend, and thought it sounded interesting. It centres round an assortment of people who are on community service orders. I watched the first episode last night and thought it was funny, and also a wee bit thrilling with some fine performances, including Merchant himself, and Christopher Walken. I'll certainly be watching episode 2.

Thanks for the Bruckner, B......
Even if like me, this album became all too familiar to you back then, this film is still compelling.....
Going into minute and gritty detail about its inspiration and creation, the consequences for both artists...
Great to see The Wrecking Crew musicians getting their due credits for it too...albums like this can take a lot of making...Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 09-11-21, 14:41.Comment

Chanced on this very moving film on BBC Scotland last night, made about an elderly man who has lived as a hermit in Lochaber for the last 40 years, and is now having to deal with declining health and more support from the outside world...'The Hermit of Treig'.

I have mentioned this programme "The hidden wilds of the motorway" about the M25 previously and see it is being repeated on BBC2 this evening https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000kjm9
Given this government's attitude to the health and cleanliness of rivers as seen in the news recently the section about the River Chess takes on an added topicality, but it isn't a green tub-thumping programme.Comment
