No, this isn’t an advertisement as such. Both the US and UK versions of Amazon are running DVD sales, and I’m listing out my ooh-that-would-be-interesting list for my purposes (and your edification, in case you have similar interests).
Note that I have multi-region / NTSC and PAL reading DVD players in the house, and that the UK PAL stuff won’t be readable on normal US systems, and vice versa. Personally, I hate the regions system.
UK:
- Complete Jeeves and Wooster (Fry and Laurie; I have only seen bits of this)
- The Palace (ITV drama series about an alternate royal family; we loved it and I wouldn’t mind having a cheap copy of this)
- The Chinese Detective (sounds interesting, but I really don’t know beans about it)
- Complete Gilbert and Sullivan (1982 series, I think this was done over here for PBS, and this puts back in stuff that was edited from the VHS version, which I had at one time; it was ruined in a flood - need to see if there’s a US version of this)
- Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (not for me, guys, but for future material for Mere, considering how much she loves British/Australian kids stuff)
- The Devil’s Whore (pay no attention to the title; historical fiction drama set during the English Civil War of the 1650s)
- Einstein and Eddington (historical drama around the time of WW1, and yes, that’s Albert Einstein and yes, this has Physics in it, and it looks cool.)
