Not sure which would be worse, the sound quality or the flavor

Nope. Never saw those.

All the ones I had were American imports.

Ah. I guess that's why. I do remember VHS films being ridiculously expensive, like about £67 for one...

Oh man! Autoreverse! The state of the art! No more had you to stop, open the deck, switch the tape around, close it, hit play and off you went again. The biz!

The first Doctor Who VHS to come out was in 1983 and that retailed at £40, which works out at £120.50 in todays money.

I remember going into a video shop around the same time when ET was released to rent and they were selling copies to buy at £80.

I'm not sure any film is worth £240 no matter how good it is.
