While preparing this post, I googled across Mike Kilpatrick’s article 800 Words, James Griffin and a fanboy. The result is sad and uplifting, tragic and hilarious, complicated and touching. A recently bereaved father moves his resentful family from cosmopolitan Australia to what we in the US would call BF Nowhere, New Zealand, trying to inhabit a dream and catch the perfect wave. And, sadly, while I was able to create an iTunes Australia account a few years ago, I still have no way to fund it using my US-based payment methods.Ĩ00 words is James Griffin’s show about life, love, and loss. At this time, the only vendor I’m aware of is iTunes Australia.

My long goal, assuming James Griffin continues making television programs, is to find out some way to purchase digital copies of NZ/AU TV shows online. Delivery is surprisingly swift as they do not actually attach the packages to sea-going albatrosses any more, and you can expect your parcel to arrive within weeks.
Region 4 compatibility is, as previously mentioned, a critical component of the transaction. I mention this because one can purchase a Region 4 copy of 800 words for NZ$34.99 + NS $27.86 shipping from Mighty Ape, where you can blessedly pay by PayPal.
It’s not getting any younger and I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to hold up. I have a region-free DVD player sitting on the table next to my desk.
