I just found this, which was made for BBC learning and I have not seen before
http://video.google.com/videoplay...ory&ei=AxKLSJa7KKTWjQKcqZyBCg
It runs for about an hour, and I enjoyed watching it. If you don't want to view the whole thing, skip to 20 minutes in for an interesting bit lol. (Obviously it must be about 10 years old now) _________________ Now counting my coasters at http://www.coastercounter.com/bradpeet - which even has the snails  |

I just spooled through it and watched the 'interesting bit' and some other bits later on. I wonder if the identity of 'the wooden spector' was ever discovered  _________________ Steve

That programme was on TV...I think it was simply called The Magic Factory.
I remember seeing myself on there exiting Oblivion and a man was asking people what they thought of the ride...I will see if I can find the bit where I walk past (with my then wavy / curly hair!).

It was called The Magic Factory, part of the Modern Times series with the first transmission on the 24/11/98 (took a while searching through the archives to find that out)!
Pete was spot on with 'about 10 years old now'. _________________ Steve
