Geoff:
Sharon, surely, you mean "December Boys" and not "My Boy Jack". 
The latter is a made-for-TV film and, according to Dan's diary 
in the "Radio Times", they didn't finish location shooting until 
17/08/07, and it has only just been trailed and Dan has been giving 
interviews quite recently.

I had read that "December Boys" was only released at a limited number 
of  cinemas and it certainly didn't come around my area, so I'm asking 
Santa for a DVD!
