The History Societies of Biggleswade and Potton have been very closely involved in the production of the DVD “Three Market Towns” presented by BBC1 presenter Pam Rhodes. Produced by local company, Axiom Video Productions, shooting in the three towns of Biggleswade, Potton and Sandy began in late June and was completed at the end of September. It looks at the past and present of the three towns using a whole range of interviews and images using newly filmed material and old photographs and films. The DVD is on sale in various outlets in the three towns, including Howell's Newsagent in Hitchin Street, Biggleswade and direct from Axiom Video Productions details from 01767 691401 or email axiomvideo@btconnect.com. This was certainly top of many a Christmas present list in Biggleswade after a 'World Premiere' attended by nearly 200 people.
