Collector’s Corner – John Clancy

If you have a story to tell then send it to my email, and a photo or two would be nice.

This chapter features a gentleman who was part of the clan that helped mount the BFCC in London for many years, he now presents a regular Blu Ray/4K review on You Tube, under the banner “Movie Collector” and frequently mentions Derann.

That could be a long story Ged but if I can help then obviously will.  I think I was about 15 when I was first taken to Derann by my parents.  What a dream place that was.  That was just a start and although I inadvertently dropped out of the film collecting scene after about 1983 for a few years, I returned just as Alien was about to be released full length.  I think Mike Dimmock answered the phone when I telephoned on a whim to see if Derann were still in business.  That would have been 1991 and I’m still here today and probably have one of the most impressive Super 8 collections in the world.  Doug Meltzer would undoubtedly pip me to the top spot though!
