I'd kind of assumed that Volume 7 would be the last one, containing, as it
did, the last film made by BTF as a dedicated unit ('The Stone Carriers'),
along with a selection of 70s/80s stuff which felt like a mopping up
exercise.

I've enjoyed the series, but would have preferred them to have gone through
in chronological order, rather than the loose 'themes' which have been
adopted. Still, I suppose they weren't to know the material would be so
popular.
