NEWS

I have updated the DVD Availability page - the issuing of the show on DVD has now been completed in all the Scandinavian countries, in Spain and in Australia.

The cast lists in the Episode Guide have been fleshed out to include many more extras and non-speaking artists.  (Yes, now you can find out who the old girl was who played Edward's granny at his wedding reception! Not to mention who played the silent maid Brenda (with the injured hand) in Whom God hath Joined...)
