Surely this will be released in Region 1 (North America) as well!
Please, please, don't tell me that we can't view it on our U.S. DVD players.
It is my understanding that Acorn media intends to release the series for regions 1 and 2. I'll keep and eye out for region 1 listings.
It's going to be released in May not April- would that it was April. ;)
to thisbeciel:
The website catalogue says: '08/05/2006'. Probably the May date is for region 1! I hope so. It would certainly make it easier to wait.
Bronteana, May is the 5th month right?! I've been counting it down in my head for awhile now...
...*facepalm*
Can I blame the food poisoning?
You may. Evil things those bacteria! :)
Hi Bronteana and Thisbeciel
I was wondering if any of you would happen to have more audio versions of anything Bronte (except Jane Eyre and Villete for I am grateful to have been able to obtain audio versions of them both from this blog :D). I'd expecially love to know where I could find good audio versions of Shirley or Tenant of Wildfell Hall. But anything will do for now really
;-), even their poetry.
Thank you.
I know there have been composers who have set the poems to music...
And I listened to but did not record the recent internet broadcast of the BBC's Shirley. It was funny, especially the accents. I also have almost all of their production of The Professor, which Thisbeciel sent to me. It might be possible to find someone through my sources who took the time to record it.
to mysticgypsy:
I do still have the incomplete recording of The Professor if you want to hear it. That's all I have I'm afraid.
to Bronteana:
I so want to hear Rochester's Song put to music!!
Thanks for the info Bronteana and Thisbeciel.
Thisbeceil, I'd looooove to get a hold of The Professor, however incomplete. :D Please let me know how I can get it..if you have it online or the like..
Thanks sooo much!!!
To mysticgypsy:
Here are the first two eps I've uploaded so far:
Episode 1
Episode 2
I guess I'll just post them here... Oh and a warning about the sound- I recorded it kinda loud.
OMG Thank you so much Thisbeciel!!!!!! :D :D I am downloading it now hehe
No problem mysticgypsy! Glad to share!
Here are the remaining episodes:
Episode 3
Episode 4
Episdoe 5
Episode 6
Episode 7
Episode 8
I think it was a 5 hr production- darn! I only had 2 more episodes to go. Silly me. I hope you enjoy it!
To thisbeciel:
Well, I did have plans on recording a cut...
to Broneana:
*gasp* Well what are you waiting for?? :D
Thisbeciel! Thank you so much!! I did like it! I was really excited because I had just finished reading "The Prfessor" only yesterday too!
aww its really sad you couldn't get the last two episodes *cries*
but all the same..I am glad I got to listen to most of it!! :)
btw, what was the date of this production? was it quite recent?
To mysticgypsy:
Yes, it is terrible that this is incomplete. Blah. Maybe one day they will rerun it...
And it was a fairly recent production- last year sometime. I know very specific. ;) It was on "Woman's Hour" on BBC radio.
