Long time no see, but I thought I'd drop in, not only to ask for help. :D

I was delighted to see this post on the restoration of Metropolis. They showed the version on one of our quality channels and I was enchanted how much the 'lost' scenes add to the story, or even show it from a different angle. That version was also broadcast to the big screens at the Brandenburg Gate. :D

I am now hoping for the DVD to come out, not only because it will make a great present.

As to my question for help; it has to do with an interview at the time of Master and Commander. There was an interview with Russell Crowe AND Paul Bettany on Jonathan Ross Friday Night (season 5, episode 11). Nobody I asked had a clue where to find it. It'S not on youtube either. I remember that it was on a Crowe Site that was not only hacked into but that also folded. I will also ask at the yahoo group, but thought maybe you had an idea. After all you liked Captain Jack very much. :D
