Sorry folks it looks like the video to Commando has been taken down. It was a Fan Video and i made absolutely no money from it . Maybe if id just uploaded the track and stuck an Album cover in front of it that'd make things ok. Or maybe there's an official video on the way . Which is fine by me. I did try uploading to another site but as soon as it was up it was taken down. So someone really does'nt want it available. The other three videos i've produced are still up on my channel and are freely available at the present but if the copyright holders dont want them around then there's nothing i can do about it. And will sadly mean i wont be producing anymore, which will be a real shame because they are fun to do and people get pleasure out of them. Nothing more to add except have a Great New Year. Peace

If you're from the UK and you're of a certain age Oliver Postgate's name and voice are as familiar as The Queen's. I watched Pogle's Wood at Nursery School The Clangers At Infants and though i'd never admit it at the time Bagpuss while being off sick from Secondary School. What i'm still aware of is how organic all of his and his creative partner Peter Firmins work seems even now. I went with some friends to a big Animation festival in Cardiff 97 or 98 ?the big draw for the festival was the presence of ILM. The Phantom Menace was upcoming and the main event hall was packed with people waiting to get a whiff of the new Star Wars film or maybe even some stories of the early groundbreaking days . A representative from ILM preceded the event by såying he could not talk or say anything about the new Star Wars film but he was going to give us a talk about
