No worries. Sendit.com appear to have it in stock as a DVD, GBP 19.99.
Get the PC out ;-)

I got to see this on DVD at a friend's place 3 months ago. Probably
because he owns a Bianchi and Magnus Bäckstedt won the event this year ;-)

Great to see the vintage bikes, jerseys, good footage and commentary.

Worth a look, definitely.

Except that the bike night is on BBC4 (a digital TV channel), not BBC
Radio 4 (a radio station).

Fantastic. Not a lot of dialogue, but doesn't need it. Really needs
watching from the start. I'm sure it'll be repeated again at some point!

Loved it .. missed it so many times before, missed first 20 mins though.
Glued to rest. Closing credit music is cool too ... Think it's a must to
buy and try and convince others to watch

19.99 though ... can't find it cheaper anywhere .. wait a sec ... sendit.com
.... 14.99 .. fiver off.

It's superb. You really need to watch it from the start because the
opening sequence is one of the best bits. I've got the DVD and have
watched the whole film many times.

I really enjoyed A Sunday In Hell too - very atmospheric. It uses
slience to great effect, which heightens the effect when the sound kicks
in. What a fantastic race it was too. And I loved the wonderfully serene
commentary - it reminded me of the coverage of the sumo wrestling when
it was on Channel 4.

After watching that I might take my road bike on gravel tracks - not! Nice
to see Eddy Merckx tinkering with his bike every half an hour though.

Did you catch the little joke at the very end?

 

[jacob]

Belleville rendez-vous brilliant film, especially if you like french
comics.
Watch the credits right through to the end.
We showed it at our filmsoc - film details still here
http://www.owdman.co.uk/wirksfilm/index.html as we haven't done the
new programme yet.

cheers
