Also from that episode is this montage...<br /><br />http://youtu.be/WazYqtFmTUU<br /><br />...which I think is ace, you wouldn't think it was from 1981 because it moves so fast. It must have taken ages to do with the technology of the time, and also serves as a great showreel of what Quantel could do in 1981.
