That old B&W Don Bosco!

ROME: 4th January 2006 -- Excuse the interruption to your day, and probably anyone under 60 wouldn't notice this anyway (and some of the over 60's it seems too!) but the background clips in black and white on the Strenna DVD are in fact from a life of Mamma Margaret, not that of Don Bosco.  You didn't know that life existed in black and white?  Nor did I!  Apparently it has its origin not from Italy but from South America somewhere, possibly Argentina, but Elledici took it up some years ago and appropriately produced it in black and white to keep everything in style.
    Here's the good news, however.  Feel some nostalgia for the B&W Don Bosco?  It's available in DVD from Ireland.  Pat Egan, an avid or at least occasional reader of austraLasia, tells us that they will happily provide you with a copy for 36 euro plus postage.  It's well worth it.  Contact SDB Media, Eire, through sdbmedia@eircom.net.
