I've been looking online and I can't find any websites that have Volume 8 of Crown Court on DVD. Does anyone know where I can buy a DVD copy of Volume 8 from Crown Court. Matthew John Drummond (talk) 13:51, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

:The vendors (and probably manufacturers) of the complete series on DVD, Network DVD (UK), [https://filmstories.co.uk/features/why-the-demise-of-network-distributing-is-a-hammer-blow-for-niche-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases/ went into liquidation in 2023] and their assets were reportedly bought by [https://spirit-entertainment.com/ Spirit Entertainment]. Try contacting the latter via that link; otherwise, keep looking on second-hand vending sites like Amazon, and searching Flea-market stalls, Charity/Thrift shops, etc.: eventually the missing volume might turn up. (As a book collector, it has sometimes taken me several decades to track down a copy of a book I wanted.)

:Incidentally, I found out all of the above by a couple of minutes of simple web searching, surely also within your own capabilities? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.194.109.80 (talk) 16:57, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

I recently found that on the website Products London.co.uk that you can buy Crown Court Volume 8 from base.com but every time I go on the link to the store it keeps on saying This link is inactive. I'm not sure what to do. Also here's the link [https://www.products-london.co.uk/detail/crown-court-volume-8-dvd-0152014/] Matthew John Drummond (talk) 22:22, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

I'm watching 28 Days Later. At 12 minutes, when the protagonist picks up a newspaper, there is a display of the shields of the Swiss cantons. What's that doing there, in a London street? —Tamfang (talk) 01:44, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

:Swiss Centre, London. The cantons on the street sign are displayed in Leicester Square. [https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-gb/microsites/gb/swiss-anglo-connections/] Knitsey (talk) 01:49, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Also, why does this DVD sometimes look like a transfer from tape?! —Tamfang (talk) 02:46, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

:Ha, that I can't help you with. If memory serves, the start of the film is POV from a handheld camera inside an animal testing facility? That was grainy footage. If the rest is like that, maybe your copy is pirated? Knitsey (talk) 02:53, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

::What I noticed was not grain but fringes. They disappeared after leaving London, hmm. —Tamfang (talk) 06:13, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

The Islington Tribune of 11 April 2025 reports:

{{talkquote|...in the Camden Sunday League ...players from Hackney Wednesday...lifted their third Frank Sheridan Senior Invitation Cup.}}

Why is the club called Hackney Wednesday? 2A02:6B67:D980:1E00:5124:BF88:2880:2730 (talk) 18:37, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:I'm wondering if this is the same as Sheffield Wednesday? Wednesday afternoons (also known as half day closing) were traditionally used for leisure time.
