To The Ends Of The Earth : Region 1 DVD

Amazon.com is now selling the Region 1 version of the three part nautical drama To The Ends Of The Earth. JJ played Lt Deverel.

I have no idea if any scenes have been cut, as Masterpiece Theatre did, with the Region 1 versions of Ruby In The Smoke and The Secret Life Of Mrs Beeton.

My web partner, Cubbie has it to rent and will report back any noticable changes.

To The Ends Of The Earth

Genre

3 part TV adaptation of William Golding's historical nautical drama

Synopsis

A perilous early nineteenth-century ocean voyage from England to Australia is portrayed in all its excitement, chaos, and random horror in a three-part adaptation of To the Ends of the Earth, based on the trilogy by Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding. Edmund Talbot is a young aristocrat bound for Australia. He books passage aboard an aging, leaking, converted man-of-war, commanded with icy detachment by Captain Anderson

The passenger list includes a core sample of British society including Mr. Prettiman, a free thinking radical; Miss Granham, a down-on-her-luck governess; Parson Colley, a hapless cleric; Mr. Brocklebank, a dissipated nautical artist; and Zenobia, Mr. Brocklebank's sensuous "daughter." The ship's crew forms its own community: Wheeler, a steadfast steward with a fear of drowning; 1st Lieutenant Summers, who becomes a friend and mentor to Edmund; and Lieutenants Deverel and Benét -- a matched pair of vain officers (PBS)
