Living in the U.S. I believe we are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to obtaining Pinter's work on video. I have done some research on this matter and collecting but I welcome any suggestions. Do people barter/purchase home-made tapes of the series? (not sure if that's even legal). For an American it seems that the only solution might be something along these lines (and then having a multi-standard VCR/DVD to be able to play European formats) I am specifically trying to find video of the following: The Guilgud/Richardson "No Man's Land" Pinter acting in any of his own works ("Hothouse" etc.) I have had success finding: "The Birthday Party" Friedkin's version from '69 which is available from Amazon (NTSC format) "The Homecoming" the DVD of the film with Vivian Merchant has been available in the U.S. for about a year "Betrayal" Irons/Hodge from '82 (no longer in print in video in the U.S. but I ordered a used copy on Amazon) Any help much appreciated.

Please see the Internet Archive: The Wayback Machine (see thread about missing posts w/ link) to enable you to recover the earlier replies. Thank you. The following link will access some of the archived posts, including ones relating to the queries about Pinter at the BBC and, particularly, the video of the Gielgud/Richardson prod. of No Man's Land (not commercially available): Archived Pinter Forum thread posts This passage by "jasperjo" (Sam Carter) is particularly helpful to those in the US seeking to view the NML video: *Quote:* I discovered the Museum of Television and Radio (with branches in New York City and Los Angeles) does have some items - most notable the Guilgud/Richardson "No Man's Land" from the late seventies that I mentioned in my earlier post. You cannot rent or copy tapes - but you can watch all the tapes you care to on site. I include their link. http://web.archive.org/web/20050309011355/http://www.mtr.org/ For newcomers to this Forum inquiring about these programs, incl. No Man's Land: Here's the Pinter at the BBC on BBC Four program information link again: Pinter Classics at the BBC. As the "Contact the BBC" link indicates, if the item is not commercially available, the BBC cannot help with acquiring it through purchase. But one may still want to check with the BBC and see other threads relating to such queries.
