A Little Princess

Hey

Does anyone else remember the television serial of "A Little Princess" which starred Maureen Lipman and Nigel Havers?
It was aired in the mid-80's.

My mum taped this for me, but sadly the tape is very old and the quality is poor. It hasn't been released on DVD, and not many people seem to remember it. Its a shame because I loved it as a child.

Re: A Little Princess

Thanks Huggie, but the video was never officially released over here. Its in the wrong format. It was suitable only for American players as it was shown as a TV movie over there.

Re: A Little Princess

odd..the cover shows a UK "U" certification, if it was american it would say PG

Re: A Little Princess

I don't know what the formats are called, but everytime I've tried (on ebay or amazon) I can only find the US versions, being sold by american sellers.

I've just done another search and found nothing in the UK again.

Re: A Little Princess

Thanks guys.

I just found the link to it on Amazon - if PAL is the UK version it did exisit - but - it says none available.

But it does mean if we keep our eye's on Ebay one should come up for sale hopefully in the future, dont give up hope just yet

Also it has the LWT logo, so it deffo Uk, VHS

Re: A Little Princess

PAL is UK, NTSC is US

It was released in UK on VHS, but deleted in 1993, so either hold out for a DVD version or Ebay

Re: A Little Princess

I assume this is the American version DVD, but it must be a region 2 as it's for sale at £3-99 (Free p&p) on Play.com


A Little Princess
Elenor Bron, Liam Cunningham & Liesel Mathews

Yep ! If I'd scrolled down further it states it IS region 2

Re: A Little Princess

Sadly thats the remade version, not the version Chilly was looking for:cry:

Re: A Little Princess

Thanks for looking everyone, guess I will just have to be patient and keep my eye out.

On IMDB one of the girls who actually starred in it is also looking for a copy!
