Long Distance Information

About This Movie

So, 'Long Distance Information' is an interesting gem from 1979, part of the 'Play For Today' series. It has this gritty, raw feel that captures the essence of the time, you know? Neville Smith's performance really brings the character of Christian Harvey to life, and the way he grapples with Elvis's death feels deeply personal. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of loss and nostalgia. It’s got that distinct British TV movie vibe, which sets it apart from a lot of other productions of the era.

This film is a bit of a rarity, especially for those who dig into British television history. It's not frequently discussed, which adds to its allure among collectors. The scarcity of physical copies, paired with its unique take on fandom and grief, makes it a noteworthy entry for anyone looking to explore lesser-known television dramas from the late 70s.
