NB: This video is formatted to play in Windows Media Player and is LARGE in size - therefore only suitable for those with broadband connections. Mac users can now view WMV files by downloading a suitable add on to Quicktime - we for example use Flip4Mac which works a treat. The only noticable difference is that while the clip will play out while downloading on a PC in Internet Explorer, on a Mac it must download first (as is also the case annoyingly with Firefox on a PC).
