Each summer, performances of the Edinburgh Tattoo (one of our 'Best of the Best') are videotaped by the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) and broadcast in the autumn.  The 'BBC America' cable channel carries the program in the United States.  Video tapes of the 1994 through 1999 performances are reported to still be available direct from The Tattoo Office in Edinburgh, Scotland.  TIP  If you live in the USA or Canada, be sure to specify that you want the 'NTSC' format (the broadcast standard for North America.) In the United States, recent Tattoo tapes are available from Alberene Royal Mail in New Hampshire.  In addition to countless videos, they carry an extensive range ['line'] of tartans, teas and tea services, miniatures of historic England and the Castles of Scotland, Fraser souvenir collection of miniatures, pubware, and more.  Alberene Royal Mail are nice people with whom to do business.  For this recommendation, I get free postage on my video orders here in the States.  But then, so will you!

	MANOR HOUSE
	EDWARDIAN COUNTRY HOUSE

Produced by Channel 4 in Britain, the 'Manor House' television series records life downstairs (the servants) and life upstairs ('their betters') in an Edwardian era, grand country house.  Here in the Colonies ['United States'] the series was called the 'Edwardian Country House' and broadcast by PBS.  It was filmed at Manderston House and Gardens which we serendipitously visited on Day 27 of our 31-Day Tour of England, Scotland and Wales. When we last checked both Channel 4s 'The Edwardian Country House' TV seriesand PBSs mirror site Manor House websites were still online.  Be sure to check-out Channel 4s SpinCam™ 360° views house tour.  The 'Manor House' video is available in the USA (NTSC format for North America) from http://www.amazon.com/ and the British 'PAL' format 'Edwardian Country House' is available form http://www.amazon.co.uk/.
