Also, Marianne tells us that series 3 will be available soon from
http://www.nl.bol.com .But did you know there were 8 series of the Onedin Line made, consisting of
91 episodes?>I am aware of the

anywhere in the world including the USA which has a different TV system
(NTSC) and a different DVD region to the UK where I live. This is because
most DVD players can be easily "unlocked" or "hacked" to allow this (and the
output suits the local TV system in the region the DVD player was sold).
Go to:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks and see if your player is listed, or to
its manufacturer's home page sometimes the instructions are there!> Anybody know if there's talk of reviving the series?
>Maybe with new actors or bringing back the old one?I very much doubt it.
