anyone who enjoy this series when first broadcast ( i rush home from school to see it ) now be of a certain age so i can only add my comment to those ask for a dvd release to enable those of u to relive the memory of first transmission before it simply become a piece of unremembered tv archive history . if so many old tv series from the sixty and seventy can be release and why not this . surely the right clearance can not be that difficult . most of the shakespeare line i can quote come from this iconic series and i remember swap them with my school chum a we try to outdo each other memory of the text . peter dews rightly deserve the credit for have the foresight to bring it to the screen . this surely be public broadcasting at it fine . robert hardy and sean connery fight to the death it rivet stuff and from the beginning of the bbc television golden age . come on bbc . clear it and license it please . march 2009 so finally the dvd be here and congratulation to those who have make it happen . the picture quality be remarkably good and the performance every bit as good a the memory thought . now all those who clamour for it must buy it and relive those magic moment . uk viewer . give the series be make in the uk by the bbc use british actor it strange that the dvd release be not available there on region 2 ( europe ) dvd and can only be import from the u and play on modified player . it seem hardly likely that there be major right issue and perhaps the market be felt to be too small so why on earth wasn not it release region free . so everyone could enjoy it .
