Spotted in WHSmith in Ilford, Essex- `The Exchange` shopping mall @£19.99
Saw `bout 6 copies in a free-standing rack by the rearmost checkout. Generally ignored by the DVD-buying Christmas shopping crowd.
Could be the re-issue - dunno really -but I haven`t seen it on any of the popular buy-sites.
Not exactly cheap, but if ebay is anything to go by, a bargain!
Enjoy, Partridge fans

Don`t Sit on it - You`ll warp it :-)
I dunno - and they say Crimbo is too commercialised.
Personally, Although I like AP, £19.99 is far too much for a disk. Think I`ll wait for the re-issue.

To be fair, it`s due for a New Year re-release anyway, so you shouldn`t have too long to wait for it.
And I won`t be cashing in on my good fortune either :-)

I saw it on Blackstar and it said:
Released 8th Oct 2001
Deleted This item has been deleted in the UK since 16th Oct 2001
There must have been some problem with the disc or something. Its really weird for them to withdraw the disc. I`ll go and have a look in my Smiths see if they have them. Though its probably wiser to see if they re-release it.
But £19.99 is very tempting.

Simon
The Beeb had to withdraw it from sale due to `Copyright problems` Most of us think that they had problems with the original music played on AP`s radio show - but auntie didn`t say what the problems were exactly. As a result, the title was withdrawn from sale (i.e. shops were supposed to remove it from their stores & return). They aren`t supposed to sell off any remaining stock. The Beeb said they would re-release it as an `enhanced version`, whatever that means. Think someone in the vast organisation that is WHS has flamingo-ed up again.
