can be obtained from various sites selling them. They turn up on Amazon and
eBay pretty well all the time. These are as noted all PAL region 2 discs.
I obtained the full set over a period of a few years, they probably cost me
in the region of £80 in total. They could probably be got for less than that
now as pre-owned etc.
They have the jackets in the Dutch language, and the DVD have Dutch
subtitles, these can be turned off when you play them so no problem, and the
soundtrack is in the original English.
You should also note that series 1 and 2 are often in non-episode form,
these lack two episodes, in series 1, Cry of The Blackbird, series 2 Bloody
Week. This did not worry me since I have good quality copies of the two
episodes.
But the full episode versions are now available for these two series, you
just have to be careful if you want them in episode form when buying.
All the rest are the complete episode versions.
Bill.
