I'm still here (sadly?), I've just been very busy with final exams at uni. Also my personal tutor hasn't been around for a while, but as it is the end of term he should be around for the exam period and I can get a letter off him to confirm that I'm a full time student, and go to Film Images.
Coming up: Round up of the latest "filler" PIFs, Bedtime Routine and more.

Update
A quick update: Film Images have said I don't have to pay for the footage if I can get them a letter from my personal tutor to prove I'm a full time student, so I've got an appointment with him next week. Then I should be able to get hold of some lovely new PIFs to write about here. Any requests?
I've also, thanks to facilities at uni, got access to Screen Online's full length version of The Finishing Line. Which is not technically a PIF, but it might as well be. Should it be my next review for the site?

The moment you've been waiting for
I've spoken to the powers that be at Film Images, and this is what they've said:
- I'm allowed to hotlink to other sites where COI material is hosted, including YouTube and the National Archives site. They have considered action for copyright infringement against YouTube but they're not going to do anything about it at the moment because of all the big film studios and record labels etc. etc. prosecuting left, right and centre.
- Charley Says volume Three may be in the works. Network Video (the company which released the first two) has nothing about it on their website, so we're in for another long wait, if it happens at all. It took long enough to get the second one off the ground.
- They will allow me to purchase some of their footage and it'll cost £94. This includes VAT, viewing charge and the expense of them making up a VHS for me. I am not allowed to upload the footage to this site but I can write about the content and production details, etc. on here. I am a student and that figure makes me go white in the face, so it's back to the old student standby, ie. going cap in hand to my parents for the money.
- The nice man also gave me contact details for two companies where you can apparently purchase full - length PIFs. I get the feeling he meant things like the RAF training videos and other such films that the COI produces, but they'd still be interesting to see. Must look into this.
More details as I get them.
