I've been waiting so long for this. I even emailed Arrow a while back trying to talk them into doing a steel of this but they couldn't as they didn't have the rights.

This is one of my favourite films of all time and being a big Kate Bush fan this even influenced her. If you haven't seen it, you really should but bear in mind it's over 60 years old.
 
The Zavvi dilemma for outside UK customers not being able to order NotD or the Castle box set has now been rectified, (we can thank @paulboland and a few others!).
Ordered NotD from both Amazon.uk and Zavvi. Not taking a chance on a stock error mess up making me miss this one! ;)
I have a hunch it's gonna sell out.
