Good For Her

Sarah Waters named one of the Best of Young British Novelists 2003, an award announced only once every decade.
I really enjoyed Tipping the Velvet and would love to see the BBC production of it. I would buy the DVD but it only seems to be available from UK sites (Amazon, BlackStar, etc.) and is encoded for region 2. My DVD player only plays region 1 encoded discs. I’m told the DVD player in my computer might play region 2 discs, if I download and install software that switches the abilities of my DVD player. But, it’s unclear if I can then switch the DVD player back afterwards. Harummpphh.

I loved ‘Tipping the Velvet’ and can see why Waters was nominated, but her book ‘Affinity’ was truly awful. <br>I’d love to see TTV in a play or movie form.

Why is Sarah Waters now bald headed?

We ‘hacked’ our dvd player (region-free/macrovision-free) by simply loading new firmware via cd-r. You can check whether yours is hackable here: http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdhacks<br><br>BUT - I take no responsibility

Not sure about PCs but on a Mac you can switch regions 5 times, but that’s it. <br><br>FYI: I posted those letters tonight if you are still interested

Did you check the BBC America site to see if the DVD was available there? They do have DVDs on that site, but I don’t know if they have the one you want (I just ordered the first season of "Coupling" on DVD for a friend of mine…)<br><br>http://www.bbcamerica.com/

Never mind. I just went there and did a search, with no success… Sorry.
