1982 �These were videotapes shown in Eynsham Morris's local, the White Hart in Eynsham, over a few pints in 2004, and we took the opportunity to take a digital video direct from the screen. Quality (both of the original video and these digital versions) is therefore not the best, but if you don't mind that, they make interesting viewing. The original videos from 1982 are by Dick Evans, the digital version by Mike Heaney.
