I hope some of you have ordered your GT video of HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY from
http://www.choices.direct.co.uk
It is 6 hours PAL and described as the Stanley Baker/Sian Phillips twinpack. Be careful that you don't confuse it with the American movie.
When I checked minutes ago, I saw it still was at the sale price of 13.59 pounds. . Shipping, even worldwide, is free. Once the pre-order price is dropped, it will cost 16.99 pounds, which is still good for a six hour show.
To find out more about this 1975-6 BBC show check out GT's credits at Judith Proctor's website.
Sian Phillips once said that this production of HGWMV was far superior to the popular American movie.
Gareth plays the reverend and should have a fairly decent role in the production, but I can't really say for sure since I haven't read the book nor have I seen the American movie.
This is a brand new video release (this June) so there are no specific details at the site. The description says zero minutes and I am assuming it says that because the video hasn't actually been produced as yet. But since the original show was approximately six hours and this is a twinpack, I see no reason why it wouldn't be the complete original show.
The site is fairly easy to use for me, but I do know some people have had trouble with it. It took me less than five minutes to register as a customer, find the video, and order it with a credit card.
The only real problem I can see is that most Americans and Canadians need NTSC, and this format is not available at this time.
