Series 5 – 8

[dobbymaxim]

Dear members,

Just joined your group after watching series 1 to 4. Sentimental
journey ! Most likely a question that has been forwarded earlier but
thus anyone know if the series 5 up to 8 are also going to be
published on DVD?

You question is one most of us would like an answer to!

I only realised that series 3 and 4 were available on mainland Europe a few
weeks ago when doing a search on Ebay, before I found this group.

Needless to say I am now almost halfway through series 4 and would welcome
the opportunity to see the remaining series.

Given that series 4 was only released by Memphis Bell this year perhaps the
next series will appear next year.

What I can't understand is why there has been a reluctance in the UK to
release anything beyond series 2 – given the popularity of the Onedin line.

John

Some of the reasons have been touched on some time ago on this forum.
Basically it was suggested this could be a permissions problem. From what I
could gather the BBC had tried to contact some actors because the original
contracts did not make provision for VHS and DVD (VHS did not come into
being generally until the late '70s and DVD obviously was not invented at
the time) and past due repeat fees/overseas sales.

I can't remember if one of those actors concerned was named on this list
previously, so I wont state it here just in case it is confidential but
there was someone on the list hoping to locate him – I don't know if they
were successful or not – my own efforts using some contacts I had, failed to
turn up anything except the person was last heard of in Holland some
indeterminate time ago.

Hopefully if this is the impediment to releasing series 5 onwards then it
has been resolved as the actor appears in those episodes.

Bill.
