I just rewound the video on which I'd recorded Series 3 from challenge... pressed play... nothing happened...
I ejected the video, and there were two pieces of tape sticking out from under the flap, unconnected :-(
there followed a few brief moments of cursing...
...then I attempted a repair job by crudely applying parcel tape to the detached strands, trimmed off the excess, and... it works! :-)
And because it snapped at the beginning and ntl are rubbish at switching over between 'shared' channels, I only lost a bit of a TV travel shop advert, and none of James dying. ;-)
