Britannia Hospital (Limited Edition)
Zavvi International
The concluding instalment to Lindsay Anderson's Mick Travis Trilogy, following If.... and O Lucky Man!, Britannia Hospital finds the filmmaker taking a sourly satirical eye to Thatcher's Britain. With a phenomenal cast at his disposal - everyone from Alan Bates (Georgy Girl) and Joan Plowright (Time Without Pity) to Robin Askwith (Confessions of a Window Cleaner) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars) to Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) reprising the role of Travis - Anderson trains his sights on royalty, the media, the trade unions, civil disobedience, and the NHS in typically uncompromising and extremely funny fashion.Features:High Definition remasterOriginal mono audioThe BEHP Interview with Lindsay Anderson (1991): an archival audio recording, made as part of the British Entertainment History Project, featuring the celebrated director in conversation with Alan Lawson and Norman SwallowHealthy Reputation (2020): actor Robin Askwith discusses working with Lindsay Anderson on If.... and Britannia HospitalBiles Apart (2020): actor Brian Pettifer recalls reprising the role of BilesA Cut Above (2020): editor Michael Ellis reflects the film's productionImage gallery: publicity and promotional materialOriginal theatrical trailerTeaser trailerNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearingLimited edition exclusive 40-page booklet with a new essay by Peter Cowie, an archival interview with Lindsay Anderson, extracts from the diaries of Anderson and screenwriter David Sherwin, an overview of contemporary critical responses, and film creditsWorld premiere on Blu-rayLimited edition of 3,000 copies
