- The alternate Chimes of Big Ben is indeed available on video, at least in
- VHS. I rented it once from the local Blockbuster. I have never seen it on
- laserdisc, though :-(.
-
- I'm pretty much in the same situation as the original poster; I have all
- the Image discs except for Fallout, Episode #17 (maddening, since it is
- obviously a key episode; I'd gladly trade my copy of The Girl Who Was Death
- for it :-). A couple months back I called every LD house I could find a
- number for, and none of them had #17 in stock. Since Image has lost the
- rights, it looks like I am SOL until someone decides to do a re-issue.
- That is, unless anyone out there has a copy of #17 that they'd be willing
- to part with for a price... :^)
