Heck yeah I’m so happy about this seeing more British comedy films that are new to Blu-Ray at least in the US is amazing. This title might not have been on my wishlist, but I love British comedy, and satire so count me in on this and Withnail and I. This totally makes up for the mostly 4K upgrades of titles in April in every way as that month was pretty lackluster.

Picking up both of these Bruce Robinson classics!

Well now. That review definitely reveals why no 4K of this but one for Withnail and I. It's using a ten year old transfer. It sounds, for the most part, that it's pretty decent in and of itself, but something newer would have been more than welcome. I'm upgrading my non anamorphic Criterion DVD so I'm still sure it'll be a huge jump on quality for me, but this makes it easier to wait on the July B&N sale.
