I just need to know for sure please!


Has anyone been able to simply rent a DVD from Apollo/Film Nites on LL, take it home and watch the film from start to finish without any problems? I just can't believe that the 2 DVD players and 2 laptops in my house are all faulty... but may be?


Anyone else have the same problem?

YES! I've taken several back and got a refund because they wouldn't play through on 2 different machines. Even tried the last one on a PS2 with no luck! The girl in the shop berely batted an eyelid, so they are obviously used to it - but no arguments for a refund. Will try LoveFilm.com - thanks Asset

Hi Benjaminty


I have only ever had a problem with one DVD from Apollo and they gave a refund without argument.


I actually now get DVDs via mail service (Amazon) and their DVDs quite often skip which is very annoying. However, they just say to wash the DVD in mild soapy water. Then dry with a clean cloth, wiping from the centre outwards. It works every time.

I'll give another thumbs up to Lovefilm. We pay about ?15 a month, and can have up 2 3 DVDs at one time. As soon as we send one back, they send out the next available one from our queue. Have never had any bad disks.


Only thing that has happened (about 4 times in 2 and a half years) is that I've sent one back, and they haven't received it. As soon as I've reported it, they've sent me another disk... They said they'd be sending me forms to fill in about where I posted the disk and that sort of thing, but have never had these forms.

it definitely stinks of something - I think there may have been some serious damp issues somewhere. Not had the static thing myself


Its not even Apollo or FilmNite anymore is it - it's Prime Time. Only other one Ive seen of theres is in Berwick St. Or I might have seen one on Upper St as well. In any case they've not exactly rejuvinated the place have they?

    • We used Joseph to move house and he was very communicative, punctual and was lovely to chat to during the journey! He was very patient when we arrived and the previous occupiers were still moving out, which was hugely appreciated! Would highly recommend. 
    • Another glowing recommendation for Keith. We’re incredibly grateful to EDF for helping us find Keith - I had lots of other quotes from companies who were upselling the work we needed, whereas Keith was very friendly, honest, knowledgeable and competitively priced.  He was incredibly communicative through the whole job and carefully thought through his approach. He did lime mortar repointing along with some brick and masonry repairs, and did everything to a very high standard. We could absolutely trust his advice. He’s lovely to chat to and very respectful of neighbours, clearly communicating when there would be noise or mess. He organised the scaffolding company who were also excellent (Reliable Scaffolding). They worked around limited parking and were prompt to take down the scaffolding once the work was finished. The scaffolding was also much cheaper than other quotes.  Couldn’t recommend Keith enough, it’s a pleasure to have him working on the house and we already have him booked in to do another job for us. 
    • If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.
    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
