Sad but inevitable day. VTS accomplished what the naysayers said they couldn’t and have given pleasure to millions inc my good self,we will not see her like again.

I very much enjoyed this latest one, some great filming and exellent behind the scenes stuff.The commentary didn’t annoy as much as last time but the constant attempts to inject “drama” and tension is irritating, but still it was a great showcase for the BBMF. Next show has the Reds with the Vulcan,that will be a goody.

Piece in the Mail today, says the buyer is “European”, my bet is German.
I would imagine that when it reaches the shops it will be a bit less!
