Really enjoyed this marasmusine , I live in Liverpool which according to my original Speccy 48 boxes is where these works of genius where created. The Bear Brand Complex ? Im going to track down this Bear Brand Complex soon in fact judging by google maps its right behind Wingray Autos on Menlove Avenue (the same road where another Scouse genius resided - John Winston Lennon !

@DamianSix66 You could go on a pilgramage, like how Stuart Campbell did with the streets of Trashman.

Please do upload, despite the sound and the interviewer having to tease info out, it's very interesting, and I'd like to know more about the creation of Jet Set Willy.

@smartgenes Acknowledged. The whole footage is currently sat on a faulty hard drive so I need to see about recovering it.

[marasmusine]

@HellNight7 On my hard drive. I got fustrated with the sound quality. I'll think about putting some more up.
