OK folks, we all think the Skoob video is rubbish and the War and Peace Show
does NOTendorse it in anyway. But really good news, the Beltring 2000 Video
is just coming out from
Agenda Video, you can e mail them on videolines@btinternet.com
Producer Ken Roberts just told me that they are justfinalising the
production and
it will be ready for despatch in 14 days
You can also find Agenda Video on www.milweb.net under Support Services -
Books, Publications and Videos or Clubs

This is vastly different in quality content and production etc to the Skoob
one (which
incidentally is NOT the official video) and I am sure readers will be very
happy with it. Having seen the "rush" I can confirm its well worth buying
and is
availalbe in all PAL and NTSC formats.

Kind regards,NIGE
