This is good news. I once had a really dodgy DVD or VHS copy of "The Bed Sitting
Room", completely unwatchable. I tossed it. Am looking forward to a nice clean
presentation.
But too bad about no extras on "A Place to Go", really no excuse for such
laziness these days. Subtitles would be a minimum effort, especially as it's
harder for us Yanks to pick up all the subtleties of the East End dialogue,
especially slang.

Just received the DVD myself, and Odeon Entertainment has done a fine job
remastering this film. My only disappointment is that there are no subtitles or
extras of any kind.
