    Why
    Again. why isn't this out on DVD yet? I saw this when it aired on Masterpiece in Jan. 1998, and I've never forgotten it, but obviously Masterpiece Theater has. It is British History, with all the dirt, blood, injustice that went along with it. An "incredible" portrayal of how it was, very well produced, acted, and musically scored. Is Masterpiece afraid to put this out there again, with it's "undercurrent" of homosexuality, and colonialism at all cost, or do they just prefer not to remember a piece of their history they would just as soon forget.
