   I haven't had a VHS player in years. (Decades?) I do still   
   have a handful of the BBC Doctor Who VHS tapes in a box   
   in the loft. I sold/traded/gave away the rest. Nobody wants VHS   
   tapes anymore so what's left will stay left.

   I've moved my main collecting on to the Blu-rays as I have a   
   good Sony Blu-ray player and a decent-ish TV. How long they will   
   last for though is anyone's guess... I'm hoping they outlive me!

   The football is on... Real Madrid v Dortmund.   
      
   I could probably do "Genesis of the Daleks" scene by scene in my   
   head anyway... I've seen it that many times. A classic! Hope ye   
   are all enjoying it.
