Statement from Steve:
I was going through some old papers and found the log in details for the YouTube channel that carried my experimental series Charity Shop Film Guide, and have decided to delete it completely.
Three editions were initially uploaded, and I had intended to do more. However, I never seemed to find the time to do so, and have wanted to remove the three videos for a while. As I didn't know the log in details, the channel has been sat gathering dust. Pleasingly, the videos had quite a good number of views and comments, although there were some illiterate insults from someone who has followed me since Myspace. How he knew about the videos is beyond me, as he hates me so wouldn't be reading my blogs or tweets would he? Would he?
I still have the originals of course, and the poster that used to sit behind me in the videos. These are in my personal archive of works, and will be left in my will to The British Library, as will all my radio shows and written material.
Thank you to everybody who enjoyed Charity Shop Film Guide, there were at least three more editions left to do as I bought the films. As I said, I can't find the time and so must draw a line under it. I still like the idea of doing a 'Bad Film Club' type thing in a small cinema as I know it would do well, but not in the foreseeable future as I am too busy with other things.. The reason I know it would do well is that Broadway Cinema in Nottingham stole the idea and curated 'Bad Film Night' and that did very well.
