the interviews with Taqui and Mavis Altounian, which I thought were the best things in the programme,
were clearly from some previous film.
They were from some previous film which was broadcast about 11 years ago. I remember the interviews
with Taqui and Mavis which I thought were awfully well done.
I was, however, disappointed that the programme makers didn't think it worthwhile to devote any time
to exploring the provenance of The Amazon Pirates and I posted a short message on TarBoard to the
effect that I considered the programme to be dominated by the Swallows. This was one of my first posts,
possibly even my first post, that I ever made on TarBoard.
TarBoarders in those days were a rather cliquey crowd and they treated such a provocative post from a
naive newbie with complete contempt - IIRC there were NO follow up messages!
