This will undoubtedly, eventually, result in a further 10 million DVD and CD sales and a knighthood for Elliott for services to every nostalgic person in the western world!

Content there is eclectic enough to include these films. IMO they are unique and have enough historical significance to warrant a permanant place in the achives. That does sound a bit serious but I'm biased like like all the fans here. If not Storyville we can at least keep hoping for Codachrome. Best Wishes to you Elliott.

I did get a response - not overly positive but not outright dismissive either so there may be room to work on this. Maybe other readers of this forum can do the same and start the 'pressure group' to get RD back on our screens. Steve. David,

Would seem a bit strange if they did, given their descent into ratings-chasing trash. It strikes me BBC3 or BBC4 would be a good home for a re-run. Perhaps we should start a campaign.

Like many others, it would seem, I felt that over the years I had somehow morphed and expanded my memories of a beautiful, lilting, wordless TV show about America. I had mentioned it to friends to no avail, but just this week one of those friends sent me a Youtube link of your show. I am so pleased to see it again after all these years. It has always remained firmly in my memory and my sub-conscious. I will be ordering the DVD and CD and the movie when you complete it. Thank you. Hi Elliott, At last I’ve found your work.

I hope the book comes to fruition as this would be a perfect compliment to the CD and DVD already produced. Of course, still itching to get hold of Codachrome but have learned to be patient (I guess as you have had to during the production process...). I have sent requests to C4 on at least two occasions (and received replies) asking for RD to be screened again (especially now that they are dropping that infuriating "Big Brother" series and will free up several hundred hours of air time). Maybe others could do the same and get it back on our screens to enable another generation of RD fans to develop! Elliott, glad to see a progress update.

Given the level of positive feeling from people about your films, I wondered if this might be a way to fund the Codachrome film?

I would love to see Road Dreams on a big screen/ several screens at the same time. I will keep checking back to see how you are getting on. All the best.
