I too recorded it off Channel 4, must have seen a listing in the Radio Times that intrigued me. I'm definitely not as much into film as music, though that's more down to prioritisation of time than lack of interest, but it always surprises me when I mention it to friends who are much more into cinema than me and they've never heard of it. Yeah, that quote I highlighted above really rang true when I watched it again last year. It applies to the internet age more than ever. Did you see the recent Doctor Who "library" story about digital ghosts too? That seems to tap in to the same idea. Binary flotsam and jetsam. (Sorry your comment didn't appear for a short while, my anti-spam system decided you were evil and I've been away for a couple of days so only just fished it out of the junk.)
