Jesus tap-dancing Christ on a cracker! That is fucking hot.

Do you know if we ever have a chance of seeing a Region 1 DVD? (It would make my friend and me very, very, VERY happy.) Or is the only way to go the ol' torrent road?

The R1 DVD will be released after Hamlet airs on PBS, sometime this year.

It'll be on Great Performances. I've heard the date April 28 bandied about, but nothing official on that.

Yep, we're looking at a DVD release mid-year! And it will be blu-ray so we can get it in all its hd glory. Right now you can get sd but only in region 2, so I'm waiting for the real thing.

We have all the latest gadgets around here! Jay is very big on HD tv, so we have a couple. The question is then, can your DVD player handle region 2 DVDs? Most can but not all but it's easy to check.
