Seemingly reliable update from a Terry Jones fansite ( http://www.terry-jones.net/news.htm ):
May 2006
The Barbarians begins on BBC2 on the 26th May at 9pm.
Terry is appearing at this year's Hay on Wye festival on the 27th May, doing a talk on the Barbarians, and presenting the Director's Son's Cut of Erik The Viking complete with a Q&A afterwards. Tickets to both events are £8.
The aforementioned Director's Son's Cut of Erik The Viking will be released on a Special Edition 2 disc set in October. (Thanks Chica!)

Well, we're halfway through October. The website mentioned above shows this pic of the release:
Doesn't seem to be a date, though, other than the signing mentioned at the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street, which I assume is in England. PLEASE tell me this isn't a region 2 release only!
EDIT: Looks like this edition was released on 10/9 in the UK on region 2 disc, as feared. Anyone know if they're going to release the same edition over here? This is so not fair.

I'm sure this is now out in R2 land - labelled "The Director's Son's Cut" because Terry assembled a shorter cut with the help of his son, Bill.

I spoke too soon. It arrived today:
Specs:
Disc 1
Director's Son's Cut (75 Min)
5.1 Surround
16:9 Anamporphic
English Subs
Commentary with Terry Jones
Interview with Terry and Bill Jones
Photo Gallery
Disc 2
Original UK Theatrical Cut (90 Min)
The box and disc SAY 4:3... but it is in fact 1.85:1 widescreen. I assume anamorphic, as it fills my Sony Bravia LCD, but I'm not sure if this set auto-compensates for non-anamorphic or not.
2.0 Stereo Sound
English Subs
The Making of Erik The Viking
Feature Reports
Extended Cast Interviews
Hope to give it a spin tonight
