Subsequent parts will likely be a bit shorter than 40 mins. I'll keep this post/thread updated as I add video but feel free to ask questions/point out mistakes here, or if you want me to expand on something I've not gone into enough detail on.

I've watched three of the five video presentations. The other two will be watched imminently.
I can honestly say that they are the most instructional and helpful videos that I have found on the web.
Anybody who has the game and feels totally in the dark should view them. They are an excellent, open, honest and brilliant way for novices to become engaged in Elite.
AdoredTV should be applauded for his work! It's a great credit.

Thanks. I've been blown away by the reception and the ludicrous amount of subs and likes tbh. I never expected it to go anything like this and now I feel under pressure to perform lol.
