i 'borrowed' this as a vhs from Les [the lecturer] who forgot to make me write down my student id. Ops, Les, you silly billy ;) yet i wonder why my essay clearly worth 70% only received 52%. Hmmmmm

Shown on C4 [adverts included for effect] and well received when broadcast. Now limited to University film/media courses.[if they are still allowed]

Please enjoy and recognise the skilz of Akomfrah.
