DVD - Shooting the Past
I had seen this on Masterpiece Theatre in the past and wanted it for my own collection. It's a spell-binding story and well executed.
Rating: - Shooting The Past
I first saw Shooting the Past several years ago on PBS. I was delighted to find it on DVD. All the actors, including minor parts, do a splendid job of luring you into the story line. It is another example of the first quality work coming from the BBC.
Rating:  - DVD Region not known

This should have been made clear as the original posting address was to Scotland.
Not pleased!

This is a truly special drama by Poliakoff....it is absolutely gripping, funny, poignant and believable.....Lindsay Duncan is superb....Poliakoff has many of the same actors and actresses in his different works...and they are always good. I saw this when it first came out as a three part drama shown on three Sat evenings here in England...and to see it again as part of a tribute to Poliakoff along with his other dramas this autumn was a real treat...this still remains tops for me.
