#3 i have lost unfortunately. I tried to previously upload it and for some reason only about 1/2 would upload. I tried a few times and then my computer went haywire. I've lost it and it seems now that I've lost episode 7 too.

Sorry, but I have been having problems with episode 3 and now seem to have lost it. Hopefully I can iron out the kinks but until then I'm just going to carry on uploading the other episodes
