Hopefully a UK release can't be far behind ?.Shame the more recent John Hurt version of Whistle & I'll...was so poor though.THE STALLS OF BARCHESTER was one of my favourites.
Oh yes! That is a boxset I would definitely own. Agreed on the John Hurt version, though it wasn't as poor as the previous years awful adaptation of Henry James' The Turn of the Screw. Of the modern retellings, I reckon A View From A Hill was very effective, and genuinely creepy at times.
