An article from the TV Times previewing Battleground. Thanks to Roy Lowson for sending it in.

Carlo said...: Now that is fantastic! Stuff of legend for me. I know the path - thread on this has been well trodden however surely there are some gamers out there with this on tape/disc who may be willing to let their poor antipodean cousins in the wargaming world catch a glimpse.

Pretty please...
Cheers

I recall as a boy seeing a picture in the TV Times of Derek Guyler with his beautifully painted flat ancient army. I cut it out and kept it for years.I wish I had the picture still...; 17 October 2013 at 06:56

Big Andy said...: Yep I remember tgat I have yet to find a video/disc copy .
Such things as VHSand Beta max were very rare indeed in the late 70s when Tyne-tees first aired it.
It probably went the way of many missing episodes of TV history; 17 October 2013 at 16:14

The problem is it will only play on my pc and not my television.
The best episode is Peter Gilder working the socks off John Braithwaite at Gettysberg.
