This very likely is the reason why no video is available of the RAI 1 "Ispettore Gadget" airings. <br /><br />One Mesteriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285238124626733583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550109213067992821.post-20483500626560812942015-01-14T12:53:11.285+01:002015-01-14T12:53:11.285+01:00For first thanks for your reply and sorry for my b...For first thanks for your reply and sorry for my bad english. Well unfortunatly the origina video of the first opening is really hard to find, in the 80's Italians used to record the audio with an audio recorder for tapes, "ordinary people" had the VCR in the 90's and then only a few lucky will have to possess before others ; read "rich people" XD.
