Doncaster Works 150 - web TV version

"I have just downloaded Doncaster Works 150 from the Watchmore web TV service, and find the whole concept thrilling. I have a 1 meg connection and it took me about twenty minutes to download, I did watch some of it as it was downloading I but decided I would wait until it had finished loading to watch properly, the quality was great. I have some mates coming over later and we are going to see it with a few beers, good stuff." - 'Taff'

A Video Tour of the Sheffield Bus Museum

"Although there is still an understandable bias towards the subject matter of its South Yorkshire base, Nova is steadily establishing itself as a producer of some of today's better quality bus videos, with good standards of filming, editing, commentary and sound. Video muzak is confined to the title sequences and there is plenty of variety to encourage the viewer to stay the course and, with luck, consider watching (and listening) again.
Andrew White - in reality Mr Nova delivers the commentary with clarity, and the script writers have made an excellent job of telling enthusiasts about the finer points of a PD2, Regent V or Ailsa, while also informing lay audiences (like school groups) of the broader tale of the development of street public transport over the past 50 years." - Alan Miller, Editor "Buses", April 2002

Buses In Action - edition 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"If this production is indicative of a trend, then bus videos are definitely getting better. Nova's Andrew White has recognised what makes a successful television programme and has applied the formula to this, the first in an intended series of video magazines with 15 to 20 mins sections on a particular topic."
"The format works well, offering enough to interest and inform, but not too much. It is well edited and does what you expect this medium to do. You get interviews with preservationists and see and hear many of the buses as they move." "Nova says it's aiming to release a Buses In Action video every quarter with a mix of features and specials from around the country and abroad. Providing it treats the world beyond South Yorkshire as well as its home patch, these could be well worth buying." - Alan Miller, Editor "Buses", Sept 2001
Just a note to compliment you on the above video. This was most enjoyable, and with the limitations I face concerning my disability, such productions are the only way I can see what is actually going on bus wise these days" - Ian Isaacs, Sheffield

"Both discs are brilliantly recorded... On the first disc, the trip around Halifax on an RM is particularly enjoyable, as is the ride around Sheffield on a PD3 on the second disc. The experience of listening to buses running which are no longer around is, for me, pure nostalgia. So far, I've only tried them out on my personal CD player with headphones - I'm not sure that my neighbours would understand the throaty growl of a National 2 climbing hills in South Yorkshire!" - Adrian Griffiths
