Mini series - Holding On

[warpig1]

does anyone recall a mini series called Holding On which was shown on BBC2 in the late 90's. It starred David Morrissey and was written by Tony Marchant. I would like a copy of this on video but I have tried Amazon and have drawn a blank, although I must admit I don't really know how to use Amazon so that might be part of my problem. Any suggestions? thanks in advance.

Available on dvd.

Does it have to be video?

DVD is video, I guess you mean video TAPE, rather than disc.
It may never have been released on VHS, the BBFC ( British Board of Film Classification ) have only cleared it last year.

Thanks folks, sorry am a bit of a technophobe(sp?), I do have a DVD player but can't get it to work. Possibly not wired up correctly, the DVD player not me before you comment, actually must check if I put batteries in the remote control - need I say more?????

Anyway thanks for all your help, must get DVD sorted then buy DVD video.

Make sure your TV is tuned in to the DVD player.

If you have a recent TV with scart socket, the TV usually tunes itself in to the player.

Good luck and happy viewing.

Tony - I had a look at DVD player last night and managed to get one DVD playing but not another - any suggestions? My brother says it may be something to do with the region the DVD disc was made for ie UK or not UK. But don't really understand as player is brand new Sony and would have thought they would cater for most regions, also the DVD's were from Extravison and surely they would be all UK compatible? Any suggestions?

thanks, warpig1
