Time for The Real McCoy on DVD

My name is Enakhe O. and I'm an London author and I am trying to get The Real McCoy released on DVD for general consumption.

There are plenty of obvious reasons why The Real McCoy should be out, e.g. it was damn funny, it was the ONLY black show on the BBC and it was REALLY FUNNY.

But what about the stars of the show?! What about the Robbie Gees, the Eddie Nestors and all the other stars of The Real McCoy who are now in different entertainment forums? This is where we know them from. And I for one would pay the price for seeing them again in all their hilarious glory!

Who remembers Dyam Fool Man? The irate Caribbean shop owner and her even ruder husband? And what about the guest appearances from people such a Angie Le Mar, Richard Blackwood and Kojo? Most young people today don't even know about The Real McCoy!

And that's the worst thing!


So with that, I would like to start a petition to have The Real McCoy transferred to DVD. The head honcho at the BBC has said that they will only put The Real McCoy on DVD when they have proof that there is a market for it.


So make yourself known, highlight your favourite memories from the show and let's show the BBC that the black community deserve, no DEMAND that such a show be available for everyone.
