I just wanted to let you know that the Yorkshire videos arrived last week in great shape. I've watched them and thoroughly enjoyed them. I love the way they are produced, beautiful photographs of carefully chosen subjects. The music is also very appropriate and ties it all together beautifully. By the straightforwardness of the presentation, you have produced some videos which lets the beauty of the landscape and villages dominate the final artwork. I know that it must be a challenge to take a complex process and give it the gift of simplicity. I love that approach. I'm already looking forward to volume three!

We have found these two videos brilliant. The narrator was so clear. We were so dubious to buy this when we were in Ripon Information Centre but are now very glad we did. We look foward to Vol 3.

We are Yorkshire-addicts and spend our holidays in Yorkshire when possible, but we could not come this year and I was homesick so I ordered the video. It's just absolutely brilliant!!! This was just what we needed. We enjoyed the whole video, from beginning to the end. A really good service, the video arrived quickly.

Congratulations on the production of these videos. The content on both is superb with a good mix of coast, dale, moorland, towns and cities. I cannot offer any criticism and hope there will be, relatively soon, more to follow.
M Cooper, UK.

Many thanks for sending the video, we all really enjoyed viewing it which we have done several times already. The picture quality is excellent and the sound is very clear - we could hear every word, your narrator did a good job.

As an 85-year-old 'Yorkshireman in exile' (born in Bradford in 1918), I have a soft spot for most things connected with my native county and I think the wide coverage of the two videos is superb. Some scenes bring back memories of teenage cycling trips in Malham Cove, Wharfdale and Knaresborough and so on.

I love to watch the videos as I have visited most of the places on them , well done..

The following comments should be read in the context of having originated from someone who spent the last four years of his schooling in Yorkshire during 1966-70, and who has returned for holidays in the County every year since.
The narrator, Alan Sykes, has a very precise clear voice, uncorrupted by any regional accent. Before ordering the videos I was slightly concerned that the narrator might have a Yorkshire accent – because I am 55dB deaf in both ears, and regional accents generate considerable trouble for deaf people!
Despite being an ‘exiled Yorkshireman’, already thoroughly familiar with the County, I enjoyed your videos. Even though I feel I have ‘done it all’ many times already I am still pleased to have been able to watch your videos – I think you have done an excellent job!
D Marshall, Oxforshire, UK.

I'm happy with your service and the tape. It's nice that you used the background music to enhance the subject. So many times I've seen a tape where the commentary is hard to hear because of the music volume. Interesting, when we go somewhere there is no background music! Only the natural sound of wind or "Life". Thank you for not making this a "music video".
D Conard, USA.

Very well done, quite up-to-date contents for a video of this type. I enjoyed the whole thing, really brought back memories. I was impressed with the content and quality of the video, very well done.
