Next time we will be discussing Amadeus. If you
want to watch it before listening to the next episode you can buy
the DVD or Blu-Ray on Amazon.co.uk, or Amazon.com, or you can
download it via iTunes (UK) or iTunes (USA), but note that the
director’s cut is far more widely available than the
Oscar-winning theatrical cut.
