Oppenheimer (1980)
Excellent Production . . . Gripping Stuff ! >>To be Released 31st July 2006<<
>>> Great News there is a BBC DVD release scheduled for 31st July 2006,UK - there is also a scheduled release in States - don't know the date - can't wait ! ! <<<<
>>>> below is my original comment <<<<<
I agree with all the other reviewers - it is simply staggering that one of the greatest TV dramas ever has never been released on DVD
The story line is gripping - the acting is outstanding and the character development is enthralling !
Over here in the UK we have quite a history of getting TV drama series and films out onto DVD through popular campaigns
It's very hard to see why the rights owners do not go into a DVD production ? I'm going to e:mail one of the leading players in this grass roots movement and see what happens. Who did the production ? was it BBC ? RW
The Falklands Play (2002)
Political Action Play
This is a highly watchable political drama which gives a true insight into the anguish brought about by the totally unexpected war in the South Atlantic.
The actor selection is excellent and the writer has put together an excellent script which lends clarity to some of the decisions made at the time.
The direction is crisp and the interweaving of News clips highlights the historical events.
Particularly emphasised are the outstanding efforts made by the American administration led by Ronald Regan and efforted by Secretary Haig to stop the downhill slide into war.
A truly tragic and unnecessary war - but an excellent play.
Can't wait for the DVD to be issued.
