RE: All 91 episodes released on DVD in Germany now…

I may be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that the tapes containing this version (like many of the early "Doctor Who" stories) were reused to record new stories over it, meaning that version is lost forever, unless someone managed to record a copy when it first aired.

But, also like the early "Who" stories, this may turn up in the hands of a collector one day, or in someone's closet because he recorded it, and we may see it restored and released. We can but hope.

(Of course, being in the Colonies here, getting ANY of "The Onedin Line" episodes is an exercise in frustration. Even repeated, polite, almost begging requests to BBC America have yielded nothing.)

Yes, all 91 episodes. Only the pilot episode from 1970 with Anne Onedin played by Sheila Allen is missing. What a pity 🙁

Does anyone know if this first version 'The wind blows free' was released on DVD in other countries?
