Discovery that will improve some day of mine as soon as I can afford it: Jonathan Miller's Alice in Wonderland (1966) is finally out on DVD in a region I can watch. One of the extras is Dennis Potter's Wednesday Play Alice (1965), essentially his first version of Dreamchild (1985). My thanks go out to Tim Burton for providing the timely excuse: I had just been planning to pine for the BFI's Alice series. Now if only someone would get around to releasing a real DVD of Dreamchild.

I'd love to see the Jonathan Miller Alice, and am waiting for a watchable Dreamchild DVD myself. As long as you're collecting Alices, here is a link to a 1915 version that has some truly surreal moments in it: http://www.archive.org/details/AliceinWonderland1915

Maybe we should start a letter campaign.

I'm good with truly surreal. Thank you!
