State of Play out on DVD in the US

Bill Nighy as Cameron Foster - State Of Play (2003)

It’s rather remarkable that it has taken this long to bring it out, the upcoming Hollywood film version might have something to with it, but State of Play is now available on DVD in the US. Either way, this excellent BBC production with Bafta award winning Bill Nighy as editor Cameron Foster is a real treat for Bill Nighy fans.

Here is a quote from the Chicago Tribune:
“The miniseries is worth watching just to see Nighy steal every scene he’s in. He plays McCaffrey’s imperious, charismatic editor, who’s prone to call for a bottle of wine during tense meetings.”

Go get it, it is available now. And it is guaranteed better than the upcoming film, if only for the cast.
