"Jim, is that Sky Arts programme available on DVD anywhere? "Don't know Bonnie - maybe through Sky There are about ten of them I think - I don't think they are available, but we've just purchased a film receiver which includes a channel for television box sets - I'll check it out later It would be wonderful if Sky re-ran it I enjoyed 'Looking for Richard' too We have a DVD of Orson Welles'Chimes at Midnight' (Falstaff) waiting to be viewed - I thoroughly enjoyed it first time around (a lifetime ago) I would highly recommend 'Ran' to anybody who hasn't seen it - a magnificent Japanese re-adaptation of King Lear (Kirosawa) with a malevolent Lady Macbeth thrown in for good measure Last year we saw the filmed live performance of 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' from The National - never quite made my mind up about it - it was directed by a self-confessed fan of 'The Only Way is Essex' which obviously influenced her approach - great fun, but it ain't Shakespeare Jim
