It`s been shown a few times. It`s also out on DVD. Jon Finch as Cornelius,
Runacre as Miss Brunner and various other British Character actors here and
there. Moorcock dislikes it a great deal I believe.

I`ve always been told it is and I`m sure there was something in either
Hawkfan or a Moorcock mag about it being HW but they`re too far away to
recognise.
