I saw this advertised and recorded it, not really knowing what it would be about. A bit disappointed when I realised that it was just a sales promotion but then got more and more irritated by the misleading claims being made, not by Tony Rhodes but by the programmes presenter.
I created a DVD and we recently had great fun spotting all the faults - misleading claims, bad practises etc. One club member has got 67 blunders!
There were several amusing claims, the main one being that you can learn turning in a weekend from a DVD. I realised later the DVD in the package, featured their DML18, a round bar swivel head lathe, but the lathe being sold was the DML305, a fixed head lathe. I can just see the owner of their new lathe trying to rotate the head! But I think the funniest thing was the price. It would have been cheaper, by £15, to buy the so called 'package' direct from Record.
If it's ever broadcast again, and you've got an hour to 'waste', grab a cup of tea and sit down for a good laugh! I just wonder how many of these packages are going to end up on ebay, when people find they've been misled.
