"It's a very state-of-the-art way to die"

I shouldn't be this excited, I know, but for a devotee of eighties BBC drama like me, the news that they're releasing Bird Of Prey on DVD makes me a very happy person indeed.

I wonder how it's aged. Some of the computer jargon will look very dated, obviously, and the 'computer graphics' and Dave Greenslade electronic soundtrack likewise fix it at over twenty years ago. But I remember the dialogue and performances as being top-drawer, Carole Nimmons as Anne Jay was one of my early 'strong dark-haired women' crushes, and I'll watch Richard Griffiths in anything.
