Russian Language and People - BBC
« on: May 09, 2006, 02:59:23 AM »
I managed to download this BBC TV series from 1980 which attempted to teach us Brits the Russian language and about Russian culture, in fact the very programme that possibly put me where I am today.

It's actually very good for beginners if a bit Soviet biased but as such it's quite compelling now with hindsight.

I think we should provide an RWD Torrent Tracker for our vast collections of Russian porn^H^H^H^H movies and TV progs, the sort of thing not commercially available. Possible legal minefield tho....

Anyway, as usual, I'll share it out if anyone wants but it is 20 45 mins eps and even divx'd up the whole thing is 4.2gb. In fact there is also the BBC continuity trailer, only a meg I'll try and upload it to the downloads section....

I tried to upload it and I did have trouble! Unsupported file type. However having watched the trailer I'm not sure it's worth it, it's actually more a BBC advert for selling the cassettes etc to go with the series. Remember cassettes? I'll cut a sample 2/3 mins from the actual show to give a better impression of what the program is like and email it. Should be 1/2 mb cos I don't want to resample it and give a false impression of the original.

Going back to cassettes as kids my parents told me neverto buy BASF ones cos BASF made Cyklon-B gas for the gas-chambers during the war.....

Let me know the filetype (extension), and I can change the program so that it will accept it.

Probably no more exposed than when people upload jpg's or gif's. If you see an exposure there (with avi's or other) would you please send me a PM?

I'll open it to avi extension - unless it appears to be a security problem.
