Second Run's region-locking policy is in fact identical to that of every other British boutique label, which is to go region-free whenever possible - but they have the advantage that the films in their catalogue are mostly so obscure that their rightsholders simply don't care about region-locking. If they started licensing films from major studios, they'd be in exactly the same boat as Arrow, Eureka, the BFI et al.

The BD is currently only available from third-party sellers on Amazon (one of which is asking 50 pounds). Is this just a temporary stock shortage?

There's plenty of stock - so must just be some delay getting stock to Amazon.
Or can be ordered through our website: http://www.secondrundvd.com/release_shop.html

I just watched this last night thanks to the SR Blu-ray release. I don't think I'd have watched this film otherwise - and Letterboxd suggests it's quite underrated, perhaps hard to come by? I thought it was a masterpiece, really. Probably the best film I've seen all year, and I was absolutely devestated by it.

Thanks, hmcnaught, very glad to know that you saw this amazing film and were affected by it.
Can we suggest that you should now watch Karel Kachyňa’s superb 1966 film COACH TO VIENNA...

I showed my friend Coach to Vienna yesterday afternoon - he really enjoyed it too!

An equally underrated and devastating gem is SR's (DVD only) release of Romeo, Juliet, and Darkness. But yeah, Shop on the High Street really is a masterpiece.
