Has anyone seen this? Better yet, does anyone actually have a copy?!??!

I sincerely need this, not just to watch, but also for sampling purposes!

It stars Bud Cort of Harold and Maud fame and is based upon the ever so true book by Aldous Huxley.

Forget what you heard about 1984, THIS is our reality!

Nah... had a look but the acting was worse than Blakes 7 or the old Dr Who's and I gave up after 30 seconds... :(

Ha ha ha! That's part of it's charm. :)

Besides, it was an old BBC made for TV mini series. Can't expect much, but still, cheese a aside, it is to true for comfort. Our reality. Eat you soma kids.

WOW! I finally made it through all this. Um...

And I would not suggest it to anyone except hard core fans of the book or for someone looking for a low budget film laced with all sort of Monty Pythonish SUPER DRY humour.

The only down side was that Bud Cort played a sell out in this film as opposed to the role in Harold and Maude. It has ruined my image of him forever. :)
