31st March 2003	Keith Wilkinson You are quite right the quality does not match the latest Zulu DVD. The worst point is the picture has been drastically cropped from the original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 to 1.78:1. See also the web site:-http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/reviews/details.asp?Index=732 for other opinions.
31st March 2003	Martin Everett Dear Andrew, I have to say that we waited 20 years for a VHS version - we kept being told by the BBC that the original print of the film was not of sufficient quality. Your experience with the DVD version seems to confirm this.
