The Hitch-Hiker R0 UK

This is a poor-quality public domain release so I wasn’t sure whether to submit it. In the end I did, for these reasons:
- there is no UK release in the comparison at the moment and this appears to be the one that is most readily available here
- the releases that are in the comparison seem to be pretty much as bad as this one
- the releasing studio GMVS is the one that obtained the BBFC certificate.
Feel free to reject this entry if needed.

This release doesn’t have chapters.
I’m not 100% sure what the term “windowboxed” means, but I suspect it applies to this release as the image is 4:3 but it’s smaller than normal, as though it is 4:3 but surrounded by equal width black bars on all sides. PQ is also very poor.

*The packaging (including the printing on the disc) only mentions WHE International Limited with no mention of GMVS. However, on screen the copyright notice and the opening splash screen are in the name of GMVS Limited and there is no mention anywhere of WHE.

Added, thanks.
Yes, that is the definition of windowboxing.
