It's criminal that Penda's never been released on disc. We saw it screened at a film/gig night last year and walked away awed. Eventually, Martin managed to download the 80s screening from some obscure site (I'd tell you where if we could remember) and burn off a somewhat shonky copy.
Artemis 81 you CAN find on DVD, however. It leans towards sf, and stars Hywel Bennett as a struggling horror writer (sorry if you've read up on it already!) and Sting as an alien "angel". Hard to describe the plot. It's not as accessible as Penda, I think. Three-plus hours long. God knows what the public of 1981 made of it.
Smith, Rudkin, and Master and Margarita? Wow. Did you catch Smith in "Christopher and His Kind" earlier this year?
