Sorry that this is posted a little late but Film4 showed 'Comrades' at 12.20am on March 20th 2009, complete with advertisements unfortunately.
The announcer said "now for a rare screening of a British epic", too right, I estimate it hasn't been on TV for 20 years.
They do tend to show films more than once so it might be repeated in the next few weeks, probably in a graveyard slot again.
Not sure if I enjoyed it as much as the first time around but the location filming and Dorset landscapes are stunning.
Seeing as they released the Bill Douglas 'Trilogy' on DVD last year perhaps a release for this overlooked epic is in the pipeline?
