Product Description:
Netherlands released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby DTS 5.1 ), Dutch ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: 3-DVD Set, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Short Film, SYNOPSIS: The Pardoner's Tale: During the Great Depression, Jacob, Jeremiah, and Lucas leave behind lives of loss in Montana and set out to find work in Colorado. On their way, they must employ desperate and selfish measures to get by, often stealing from others in order to survive. When they stumble upon a resting place that should provide some relief, they instead find something that opens a door into the darkest part of who they are. Oliver's Travels: Oliver (we never learn whether this is his first name or his surname) is a middle-aged lecturer in Comparative Religion, with a passion for trivia, crosswords and anagrams, and a very strange taste in jokes. Having been made redundant from the University of the Rhondda Valley, and with no family ties, he decides to set off on a quest to find "Aristotle", a setter of crosswords. He soon teams up with WPC Diane Priest, who has just been suspended from the police force because she has been asking too many questions about a local murder that seems to implicate the Chief Constable. Pursued by Baxter ("the man with no name"), Oliver and Diane visit Shrewsbury, North Yorkshire, Durham, Hadrian's Wall and Kirkleven (in the Scottish highlands) on their journey to find "Aristotle" in the Orkney Isles. Along the way they uncover a major scandal centred around a property company. The laconic humour and the laid-back style are similar in many ways to "The Beiderbecke Affair" (1985) (mini), The Beiderbecke Tapes (1987) (TV) and "The Beiderbecke Connection" (1988) (mini) (also by Alan Plater), but with the added pleasure of word puzzles like those in Colin Dexter's "Inspector Morse" books.
