This is a link to Part 1 of Doomsday, which leads to The Passion and The Nativity. It's in reasonable quality, albeit with Dutch subtitles!

Wow! Powerful stuff, can't wait to watch it all, but catching a snippet of the wonderful Brian Glover brought back fabulous memories. One of the best theatrical experiences ever.

They can be downloaded using Firefox with the DownloadHelper add on. I don't know about joining the parts, probably many free programmes will do it.

Back when VCRs were the size of a small car, and even before I got one myself, I got my parents to record all 3 of the Mysteries off the telly; I've still got the tapes, though Brian Glover ( ;)) knows what state they might be in by now...

My big complaint of those videos is that speech and music is all at the same volume, which it wasn't. The shows often went from speech (unamplified) to Home Service at full wellie.
