They have developed every single roll I have shot since moving to the Netherlands in early 2003, including traditional and chromogenic B&W, Agfa Scala, E6--all in both 35mm and medium format. They have never failed me in any way. I think that part of my motivation for not abandoning film entirely is a subconscious desire to help keep people like s-Color in business. You can read more about them here: http://www.scolor.nl/index2.html. The site is mostly in Dutch, but if you phone them, I am sure they speak English. They used to be open on weekends, and until midnight on weekdays, but nowadays with the lower volume of film processing they are only open Monday-Friday. Since I live 40 km from Amsterdam and work even further away, they have set up an account for me--I send them the film, they send me back the negatives/slides (one-day turnaround), and once in a while they send me a bill. So in principle they should be able to do the same for you in the UK; the postage cost would be slightly higher, but other than that I see no reason why not. Another option is for you to mail me your exposed Scala and I will have it developed and send the film back to you. If you want to pursue that option, contact me off-list.
