Todays Daily Mail (14th Feb)
Discussion
Bit of an odd one this.
I believe todays daily Mail came with a free DVD.
I believe it was "The Lady and the Highwayman".
Now, this is a god awful film in every possible way, and should be consigned to the bin at the earliest possible oppotunity - but, my old departed grandad is an extra in it (hangman and a peasant who takes off his hat).
If anyone has a) bought the mail, b) can confirm existance of said freebie film, and c) doesn't want the DVD due to the crappyness of said film, could they drop me an email and I'd be more than happy to take it off their hands.
Cheers in advance chaps. I can't find a copy of the Mail anywhere, and it's probably the first time in my life I've wanted to buy it.

Isn't this always the problem with these offers, you actually have to buy the paper and there are some papers I just couldn't be seen buying.
It'd be a pretty useless marketting ploy if you didn't have to buy the paper.
True, but they can't possible imagine you'd actually continue to buy the paper afterwards.
I'd always been under the impression that your choice of paper was somehow hardwired at birth. I mean if I get a paper it's the Times, I can't imagine why I'd ever choose another.

Thats a bit daft isnt it. Not a critisism, just its funny.
Ive bought the mail before but reading it makes my blood boil...
I tend to read the Sun and the Times on the train

So, nobody a Mail reader even where free (crap) films are in the offing?
Mr E my mate has a part time job in the local paper shop i'll give him a call and see if they have one knocking about.
Phill
Edited to add just spoke to him on the phone. You have to buy the paper to get a voucher/token thing which can only be used at WH Smiths to get the dvd.

Interestingly, I am currently working on behalf of A large paper, on part of their marketing. I don't work for them, and all I am involved in is putting up posters and POS material. However, the amount of retailers that have commented that buying habits have changed.
Some have seen a large increase in sales, another has commented that last week, they sent most of their sunday papers (of this partcular name) back.
The website TV Go Home did a series of p1ss takes about the Daily Mail.
