seeing it in the states


Are there any other Americans out there dying to see this movie? It won't air on PBS until NEXT YEAR! Boo!

reply

Next year? Oh bother. I really wanted to see it. Maybe it will come out on DVD and someone will upload it.

reply

It was a made for TV film and they rarely get put on DVD, unless there's a huge demand for it.

reply

It is to be released on DVD soon. Probably before christmas. There was an advert for the DVD in the end credits.

Be forewarned that DVDs sold at the above two sites are coded for Region 2 (UK, Europe, Japan, South Africa and Middle East) which means they will not play on players set for Region 1 (North America).

reply

The film will be playing in the United States on April 20 as part of the Masterpiece Theatre presentation on PBS. It's very far in the future, but nice to know if you'd rather not buy the DVD.

If you live near the Canadian border you may be able to see it on TVO (Canada's PBS). They just showed it on Sunday (Jan. 20). I'm impressed Canada got it so quickly - it was only shown in the UK in November. They also got the Jane Austen series about a month earlier. Maybe it's from being part of the Commonwealth...

reply

no its not, we down in Australia dont get anything

reply

Yeah, I'm Australian and I've never heard of this movie before. (And I check the papers/movie review magazines etc, so I know about most of the new releases in Oz).
