Seasons 5-8 available anywhere?

[garth3639]

As a new member of this group, I wonder if anyone out there knows if
series 5 to 8 are available on tape or DVD. We've got series 1 and 2 on
tape (BBC Enterprises 1995) with series 3 and 4 from Memphis Belle on
DVD, and they're all very good. If they're not yet available, anyone
know of any plans to release the rest of this riveting series? Anyone
asked the BBC?

At the moment 2 Entertainment is releasing the DVDs in the UK including the
missing episodes and without any cuts, series 2 will be released 13 August
this year.

Memphis Belle has released series 1 to 4 in Holland (subtitles can be
switched off), in both series 1 and 2 an episode is missing (Cry Of The
Blackbird and Bloody Week); series 3 and 4 are complete.

I've contacted Memphis Belle and they can't give a straight answer if series
5 to 8 will be released; something to do with the rights.

I will contact 2 Entertainment and ask if they're planning to release more
series, they have the BBC rights at the moment.

The only way to obtain series 5 to 8 at the moment is to find someone who
has them on tape or take a look at eBay..

As soon as I've contacted 2 Entertainment and they've given an answer I'll
let you know through the group.

Regards,

Marianne

Great, Marianne, at least they answered you! I'm (not) still waiting
for a response from them. We might be in for a long wait especially
those of us a bit strapped for cash; the BBC don't post outside the
EU and the ABC (in Australia) are not shy at asking top prices.
Nevertheless, series 1 to 4 even missing the two episodes, was much
enjoyed here. And subjectively I reckon the first 4 were the best
quality stories – I remember that by the time James got to wife
number 3 that the stories had deteriorated. Doesn't stop me from
wanting to buy the DVDs and see them all again!

Best regards to you all from Elaine in Deception Bay, Queensland

Thanks Marianne for the info.

I've emailed the BBC this week and got a very general reply suggesting
I looked on their website to see if "The Onedin Line" will be
transmitted in the following week as they can't advise further ahead
than that!! The UKTV website doesn't give any date for further
transmissions of "The Onedin Line" – they transmitted early episodes
but stopped last year, and in reply to my email to them asking why,
they said that there was insufficient interest to continue.

I emailed Memphis Belle last year after receiving Series 3 and 4 and
they said at that time they were hoping to release more of the series
but that they were negotiating rights with the BBC.

I've now looked on the 2 Entertain website (www.2entertain.co.uk) but
can't find any mention of "The Onedin Line" in their current or future
releases. Hope your information is reliable!

Doesn't anyone in this group have series 5-8 on tape, maybe recorded
off air? I know that it was transmitted originally in the 1970's but
I've some recordings more than 25 years old on VHS, unfortunately "The
Onedin Line" isn't among them!

Regards,

Garth Williams

Dear Garth and Christine,

Memphis Belle ( http://www.memphisbelle.nl ) is recently selling series 1,2,3 and 4 of the Onedin Line, cost 9,99 euro each DVD in every musikshop or big retailer (Blokker for example) for this price in the Netherlands.Plenty of them.

Memphis Belle replied on my mail and the assured me that they also want to release series 5, but no date was available yet.

Best Regards,

Dear Marianne,

Thank you very much for your reply.
My 13 year old son and me viewed series 1-4 every day, during 1 week.
We're both very enthousiast and if it's possible to obtain series 5-8 would be great.
It seemes that nobody has series 5-8 at internet, we searched many days at internet.
We'll try to get series 1-2 of 2entertainment to view the missing episodes too,

with kind regards,

Bibi.

I've just had this reply (below) from the BBC in response to an email
I sent them a few days ago. Maybe if other members of this group also
wrote to 2 entertain (as Marianne has already done) they may take a
bit of notice. Worth a try anyway!
