this must be the last of the quality bbc drama yet to be release on dvd . i wonder what the problem be . maybe the bbc have lose the original tape i hope not . assume that the tape do exist still and i would expect the demand be enough now to justify it release on dvd . i would certainly be prepare to pay a premium to obtain it . it one of those production that do not date and but evoke the atmosphere of the 1950 to the 1970 a i remember live through it . consider the number of excellent actor in the series you would think there would be a demand just to be able to see them a they be at the beginning of their career . so come on bbc at least let u know if we may hope .
