Quote
• Audio commentary with director Ken Russell
• Audio commentary with writer and producer Larry Kramer
• Billy Williams OBE BSC in conversation with Phil Méheux BSC (2015, 49 mins): in-depth interview with the Oscar winning cinematographer (49:17)
• Second Best (Stephen Dartnell, 1972, 27 mins): previously unreleased short film starring Alan Bates based on the short story by D H Lawrence (26:33)
• The Guardian Lecture: Glenda Jackson interviewed at the National Film Theatre (1982, 77 mins, audio only - played to the film)
• The Pacemakers: Glenda Jackson (1971, 14 mins): a documentary profile in which the actress speaks of her performance in Women in Love (14:19)
• Stills and Collections gallery (3:21)
• Original theatrical trailer (3:31)
• Illustrated booklet with new writing by Michael Brooke, Paul Sutton and Vic Pratt, and full film credits

I really enjoyed "The Pacemakers", which had some fascinating behind-the-scene footage from "Sunday Bloody Sunday". "Second Best" was decent, perhaps I need to see it again. All in all, a great BD from BFI! Hopefully there'll be more Russell on Blu from them...

Thank-you for that. It's probably worth getting just to hear Ken's commentary on the film. Having heard his commentary for his "Lair of the White Worm," he always seems to add a bit of spice to the film. Thank-you again.
