FAQ: Why are the Ayckbourn films not available on
DVD?

One of the most frequently asked questions
to Alan Ayckbourn's
official website is, why are the television films
of his plays not
available to buy on DVD?
There is no obvious answer to this and
the decision largely rests
with the commercial rights holders themselves, not with Alan
Ayckbourn.
It is worth clarifying that Alan Ayckbourn has no objection to
the
majority of these adaptations - such as the BBC's Absent Friends,
Season's Greetings and
Absurd Person Singular
- being released.
But the initial decision regarding a commercial release lies
purely
with the producers and commercial rights holders and neither Alan
nor his agent have been approached with regard to the licensing
of the films by the commerical rights holders, such as the BBC.
Presumably the reason for this is largely a commercial one,
taken
by the rights holders. Whatever the reason, as far as Alan
Ayckbourn is aware, there are no plans in the foreseeable future
for the films to be released on DVD or repeated on television.
If you feel strongly about seeing these films, the website can
only
advise you contact the BBC (or the other relevant rights holder)
to
express your interest in the films. Perhaps if there is a
perceived
demand for them, they may finally get released on DVD.
