Why is there no DVD available for one of the most interesting of rebellions where people fought for their right to be advanced through education? There was also a wonderful documentary screened the same week os the film. The two would make a great addition to BBC DVD collection!

Indeeed, it sounds like it would have been interesting - perhaps it'll get repeated around an anniversary?

It has been repeated before, and it's the kind of thing BBC Four occasionally schedules, so it's worth keeping an eye out for that. But yes, a DVD release would be lovely.
