According to the BFI website, the latest volume in their series of rereleases on DVD of the British Transport Film Unit's products is due in December. The description of this set is:
"'Just the Ticket' contains over four hours of British film classics, with particular focus on the staff training film, a genre often wrongly neglected but no less creative and accomplished by the award-winning BTF unit. A good number of films such as 'Lost, Stolen, Damaged', 'Manhandling' and 'It Takes all Sorts' were likely unseen by the majority of the British Public, but that in no way diminishes their originality or charm. The very first BTF title 'Berth 24' finally makes an appearance on this volume. 'Just Like the Rest of Us' is a sensitive portrayal of people with disabilities and how we would all like to be treated."
Will be available from BFI at the usual £19.95 etc.
Regards,
John Webb
