Anyone have any luck finding the series after all these years??

I personally loved the mini series and haven't been able to get it off my mind since the first time I saw it 8 years ago &I would love to see it again if anyone has a copy.Thanks so much The Angel.

Because the book i just read with 2 of the actors from the series on the cover
