AVAILABLE NOW ON DVD It seems that your power of persuasion (you the fans) have convinced Yorkshire TV to allow the release of this classic comedy drama on DVD.   Tim Firth's hilarious and poignant seasonal one-off has a cast-list that reads like a Who's Who of British comedy and was filmed on an oversize set to make the actors' characters all the more believable.       IMC VISION LTD CAT: IMC586D Having the good fortune to come across the Flint Street Nativity one Christmas years ago I too am trying to get the DVD. Living in New Zealand we are not even lucky enough to have repeats of this play so everyone has to listen to us relaying the best bits. I'd love to get a copy somehow, please, please, please! Deb Archer Been in hopes that this would be released ever since I saw in while spending Christmas in England. Now that it is being release where would I purchase a copy on DVD and will it be available without regional coding or on NTSC as I am in the States and unable to view PAL coded video. I think there would be a huge Canadian and US market for this production. Anita Lowe I absolutely love The Flint Street Nativity and the sooner this classic comedy is released on DVD the better. What are ITV Yorkshire Television waiting for??? Chloe Nicholson
