I'm trying to get hold of a good copy of the above series. I'd appreciate any ideas/links/hints. I've tried Amazon, Ebay and Youtube...

(The soundtrack is a delight!).

The book is one of my favorites, and I'd love to see the TV adaptation. Let us know if you find a source!

Apparently RTE have never put it on DVD. If they found there was a demand (hint, hint), they might.

Of course, maybe the film was just terrible. I can't remember it at all.
