    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?

    Regards,
    Garth and Christine Williams,

    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,

    Bibi.

    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!

    Thanks Garth!!!!!

    Maybe it's more convenient and quicker (nowadays when almost everybody uses
    internet) to send the request by e-mail to 2Entertain. The e-mail address
    is: info@2entertain.co.uk
