Thanks for the update, Donald. I remember seeing this on release in the cinema and being absolutely stunned by it. The production may have been wretched and took a heavier toll on several participants than we previously imagined but the images and textures are ravishing and some sequences are heady, cinematic gold. Neville is magnetic in a beautifully nuanced, multifaceted performance. So many elements are fantastic and despite the damage inflicted by the behind the scenes turmoil, this grand episode stands as perhaps the finest expression of the triumph of fantasy over reality. This looks a lovely edition. Will be great to have a good version of the South Bank Show episode.
