Default Bill Douglas

I saw Bill Douglas's trilogy: 'My Childhood' on TV long ago, and have been hoping for a bfi re-release ever since DVD started. In the interim, which I fear may be many, many years, does anyone have an even half-reasonable copy?

Default Thanks

I'll keep waiting, then - strange that part 3 is still available, but 1 and 2 aren't. I guess it's just back stock.
