Hi Royston, Thank you for bring Singapore closer to the heart of the Singapore with the Old Places. I have never seen any production like this before.. I came across the trailer, but I have never imagine the impact I had after the whole show... it did not just open my eyes to Singapore, but also brought back many sweets memories I had for some of the places. I hope you can roll out the DVD soon so that I can keep a copy so that i can watch it again, and share my happiness with my next generation.

Currently the DVD of the film is not available. But we'll definitely let you know when it does. As for the addresses, we're not sure. You'll have to check with the production team.

Will definitely buy the DVD when it's available, no matter the price. I love the way the film presents the interviews with the imagery that evokes the sense of nostalgia. And many of these places would possibly disappear within the next decade. One suggestion to the production team is that they can include the addresses of the places on the DVD as an extra feature.
