There are far too many low budget movies being made...                  
                                                                     
god knows how they all get financed...???                                                
Rumours abound about tax loss dodges...                                                                     
                                                                     
But most seem to end up in an abyss of limited release and obscurity..
Or shelved forgotten for years after completion...

Neither me nor the mrs have heard of this one until this thread,
and she's a big fan of his books...

I think it's now on BBC catch up...
