Hi, Has anyone heard of a series that was broadcast in some years back, called: Road Dreams. It was about a guy in England who travelled to the U.S. for a holiday and stayed for twelve years? I think his name was Elliot bristow. It was done in the 'on the road' style documentary. I travelled the U.S. when I was twenty for about three months for my 21st birthday so it appeals to me greatly. It's a long shot but I hope someone has heard of it and better still knows where I could obtain it. Any help appreciated. Pete

yes his name was elliot bristow i think, they showed it here in the UK in the 80's sometime i have been looking for a copy too... its a great movie as far as i'm concerned the guy just shot hours of super 8 so it has that instant nostalgic super 8 feel if you do find a copy come back and post here and i will do the same regards adream

I've got a copy if you're interested, my email is sendittod@yahoo.com, it's on vhs, not great quality, but i've been google-ing this for years now, idley, not making the real effort one could, and i'm getting closer to making contact with Elliot Bristow, so fingers crossed I can get a copy on dvd copied soon, just a matter of taking the time out to really do some investigating. I'm email an Irish journalist who is a good friend of his this week, so I hope to hear back soon and make contact. In the mean time I have 5 of the episodes on vhs for your viewing pleasure. This is truly one of the most endearing programmes I've ever seen on tv, and I cant' believe it was nearly 14 or 15 years ago now, I was only 18 at the time it was aired, and boy am I glad I recorded it. Take care. Darryl Byrne - Dublin.
