It's one of a BBC series called Monarch of the Glen; another disc of a
different year (within the series) worked fine!! I get them from the
London Library so one would expect them to be all right! I shall try
to get another set to try!!
I just wondered if it was something in the preferences and was
surprised that not even a dusk icon came up on the screen - even a
blank disk gives an icon!!
