well either would be great, I would prefer a DVD but a VHS would do nicely providing it had Knightmare on it! People get too carried away with special features on DVDs when in fact I have only seen 2 or 3 with good special features (LOTR Trilogy, Pirates of the carribean and Red Dwarf DVDs)
Well, I think in fairness the reason many of us backed DVD and not VHS at this specific point in time was because it was Granada themseves who said it was only the advent of DVD that made a commercial release viable at all. However, Tim Child pointed out they still weren't sure of the market, so we decided to pursue the DVD case on its own to give some evidence there was a market for that- hence the DVD petition. Including VHS in that petition would, as I have said before, made that evidence of a possible market more confused.
As I've also said before, there's absolutely nothing stopping anyone taking up the VHS cause just like others of us did with DVD. I personally think you'll have a harder time convincing Granada of the viability of that, given their comments, but anyone can try and thus prove me wrong.

Barry's commentary would be a wonder to behold! He'd actually be limited in the amount he could say!! hehe - When was the last reminder letter sent to Granada, and whats the latest from BVA on the DVD?
I agree that VHS is easier with having a video player and not having to buy a DVD player, but thats the same issue with anything? You go and buy a new film either in VHS and risk it wearing with age or getting demaganitised, or you buy a DVD and you get a perfect image for ever and extras etc, plus DVD players are getting cheeper, if not as cheap as a vcr! (the cheapest VCR i saw in argos was 60 quid, and a decent DVD player can cost around 60 70 quid). Plus with DVD writers for PC's DVD's are proberley cheaper to make
