Too tricky?

So now it seems Bob Baldwin has the hard work for a while. While confessing a stake in the rights, Bob is trying to work out from his records who else needs to be approached for agreement.

Three TV broadcasters, a defunct distribution company and a raft of animators (do they have a collective noun for animators?) need to be considered.

It also turns out the series was hardly ever shown in Britain! Daft!

The first temptation of the Turnip

Well, still no confirmation of who owns the rights for Grim Tales. While I am now finally in contact with Bob Baldwin he is yet to confirm if he has a stake in the distribution rights. As a consolation he at least assures me that the question is now under discussion.

He flatters me that he enjoys the Turnip Quest Blog, and it seems I have flattered him by aspiring to, and pursuing the task at hand. But, the foreboding that ensued from earlier warnings clouds what I know should be a joyous arrival along my journey. Bob's responses have been prompt and cordial, quite open and encouraging and yet again references to the unlikely hood of any success to my quest.

What dark purpose or shameful past does my quest lead me towards? There are now vague suggestions of some lesser consolation. Would my own personal copy on VHS tape be satisfaction enough? Would the Turnip be considered a lesser vegetable to be so easily turned from noble purpose?
