Hi everybody, I'm not a climber and I don't think I have posted here before, 
though I may have cross-posted from uk.rec.walking at some point.  I am 
trying to find out if there is a DVD or video of a 90's tv programme.  I 
think it was called Pennine Grit, was about half a dozen 30 minute episodes 
and was probably only broadcast in the Yorkshire area by either BBC Look 
North or YTV's calendar.  It was a fascinating set of programmes that looked 
at the history of climbing in the Pennine area.  It covered topics such as 
climbers involved in the mass tresspasses in Derbyshire in the 30's, to the 
development of sport climbing alongside traditional climbing.

Does anyone remember it and more importantly does anyone know if I have got 
the name correct and if it can be purchased?

Your help would be appreciated.

Must have been blind Eddie, it used to be a first option, even had an
icon once. Thanks.

Yeah, I've always hated these forums that want to use a slow web-based
replacement for something that we've had working perfectly well for
decades (at least two that I've seen, and certainly more by reputation).
It really bugs me not to be able to take advantage of all the things we
news-readers take for granted, like article prefetching, adaptive score
files, a single point of configuration (i.e. not having to go around a
dozen web sites when I want to use a different email address, etc.), and
all the rest.

I don't know if it's the September effect that's been permanent since
1993, or the avalanche of spam that's caused folk to desert Usenet, but
I think that 'cure' is worse than the problem!
