Can anyone tell me whether it is possible, in the UK, to get a copy of the DVD of Alexander that hasn't had the Alexander/Hephaestion cut the hell out of it?

The version I have does have the kiss with Bagoas and the getting into bed naked, but has lost the before battle chat with Hephaestion, "Stay with me tonight" and "You strike me still".

It must be possible to get the theatrical release, right?


EDIT: IMDB says the director's cut is eight minutes shorter than the theatrical release. And look what's been taken out. Fucking hell.

I'm leaving to go back to university (eeek finals) on Thursday so have been doing my dutiful daughter thing today. i.e. All the things that won't get done otherwise. I installed the software for, and put music on, my father's ipod (and made a nice little bullet pointed list so that he would be able to do it himself when I'm gone). I went out and bought a new video recorder (because the old one was so unreliable), installed it and have set it for his Bob Dylan program tonight (to be fair, he does need it properly recorded because he uses it in teaching). I feel like superwoman.
