I have been waiting for this for years. I, too, taped the original broadcast, and we also watch it year-after-year. The tape is degraded, and the DVD is here just in time!

Wonderful story, produced magically. Christmas isn't Christmas without The Box of Delights.

I taped this mini series off tv in 1984, and every Christmas season my family and I love to watch this. (I bought newer better copies when they became available.) Set in the English country in the early 1930's, it is very charming. A young boy's magical experiences and how he saves everyone, including the town's 1000th Christmas celebration in the Tatchster Cathedral. It's alot like an early Harry Potter, but with the snow and Christmas music. I have found 3 different versions of this movie---depending on how much they edit and shorten it. I prefer the long version, 165 minutes, with all the details, quirky characters, quaint scenery and settings, and lots of charm.

The Box of Delights is a fantastic television programme. As a little girl, I remember watching the programme every christmas in Britain and was a childhood tradition. In Canada, however, it is not available. The show is brilliant, full of magic and myth. Both parents and children will love this programme, I definitely recommend The Box of Delights for anyone who enjoys Arthurian Legend or British/Celtic mythology.
