The first step in our campaign was to find out which episodes the fans would like to see on this DVD, so that we can offer some idea to those making it. Throughout the month of February, we asked if all of you readers could email us a list of the episodes - be they weddings, births, deaths, arrivals, departures or any other milestones - that you would like to see included. Having found out the thirty most-requested episodes, we then asked you to vote again to narrow them down to fifteen. We received an overwhelming response, and the fifteen most popular episodes will now form the episode line-up which we will be campaigning for. Obviously, if Rajon want to release a whole different set of episodes, we’re hardly going to complain, but we’d like them to be aware of what the fans want from this DVD. So here’s a rundown of the 15 episodes that you selected from your voting, along with a mock-up, thanks to Rhys, of the cover for More Defining Moments!
