    Hi Ron,

    As stated in previous messages, set one of the BFS DVDs contains
    episodes one to four of series one and set two episodes five to
    eight. Unfortunately, this is all that's available in the US as far
    as I know. In Europe series one, two and three are currently
    available on DVD. I believe series one and two were also released in
    Australia by the BBC on video but I'm not positive about this.

    The BFS DVDs are well worth getting as these are the complete
    episodes as originally broadcast (all other versions of series one
    that I'm aware of have been cut, a few scenes quite drastically). If
    anyone is interested in obtaining these DVDs/videos, they can be
    purchased from amazon.com, cduniverse, etc. and also via eBay but do
    check they are compatible with your equipment!

    While on the subject, I'd like to appeal to all Onedin Line fans to
    email BFS and ask them to release further episodes on DVD:

    I'll support that, if every member of this list (73
    of us) sends a mail to them, it ought to make them think there is a healthy
    market for further releases.

    Thanks Diana,
    A great series too bad it's not available in its
    entirety. It was broadcast in the 70s (?). It may
    not
    have been as popular in the US as in England, but I
    know I enjoyed it. Good acting and sailing ships,
    too.
    Unfortunately I can't play PAL on my VCR. Darn. I
    wonder if UK DVDs are compatible.
    Thanks again for the info.

    Ron,
     
    You might be able to play PAL on your
    VCR.
     
    Go here:
     
    See if you player is listed, (also the
    manufacturers websites of some DVD player have instructions on how to unlock
    them for any region and PAL / NTSC playback).
     
    My own players will deal with any region / system
    now after following the instructions.
     
    If you need a PAL test DVD disc to confirm it
    works let me know.
     
    HTH Bill.

    Hi all,

    It's easy to get a code to make your dvd player region free.
    Just search for the correct code on the internet and I'm sure you
    will find it within minutes. (e.g. http://www.regionfreedvd.net)

    Regards,

    Carin
