Savage Messiah: Ken Russell > Savage Messiah: Ken Russell

Iain Fisher:
Both films are great. The first concentrates on the Wordsworths, the second on Coleridge. A third, that didn't go ahead, would have been on Southey.
They are not by the BBC, who have issued a lot of Ken's stuff, but ITV the independent channel that Mevyn Bragg worked for. This may make it less likely it will come on DVD. I will update the site with more photos and details of both in the next few weeks, maybe that will compensate- I have copies of each but I am not allowed to copy on pain of death.

I have never seen it, but I have read a number of articles about it. While there are many films by Ken Russell I have not seen, this is one of them I'd most like to see. If for no other reason, everytime I think of Wordsworth's poetry, I hear the voice of David Warner, who played Wordsworth in the film.
Unfortunately, it does not appeared to have been released on dvd, nor do I know of any plans to release it in the future on dvd.

Apologies if people have already discussed this. I remember from the late 70s as a teenager watching a wonderful 2 part dramatisation of the lives of Wordsworth and Coleridge. I wonder if anyone else remembers it. Also, does anyone know if there are any plans to release it on DVD? It seems such a pity that no one catch watch this wonderful work now
