    Bree,

    That's what I wanted to know.

    I'll have to look around eBay to see if I can find it at a good price.

    The thing I was concerned about was if there were subtitles that could not be switched off or it was only in dubbed German.

    Many DVD menu layouts can be less than helpful, so you tip on this is welcome.

    Thanks,

    Bill.

    Bill,

    Thanks for this.

    I recently purchased the German Series 8 (the 2010 NEW KSM / KSM GmbH / BBC / 2 entertain release 3 disc set) The episodes are offered on disc both in German and as the original English version. The language is not selected from a main menu – you have to first select the episode (in German) on the first menu of each disc which then takes you to a second menu where each episode is offered in original English or German. There are also some extras on the DVD set, e.g. still photos from episodes, video clip highlights from episodes, written (in German) biographies of main cast, technical details of the ships used etc.

    I hesitated before purchasing, but am glad I did.

    Hope this helps.

    Bree

    Hi folks,
    I've got the complete series for sale for $65 plus $5 shipping. The last two series are for Euro format dvd players, but many players now play that. New players on amazon.com that play all world formats are only $43.

    Subject: [shiponedingroup] I just received Season 8, but it is in dubbed in German, 🙁 . Can I return it?

    I thought it would be German subtitles and English audio, like the Dutch Memphis Belle releases.

    I opened only the 1st disc of the 3 disc season 8 set. Can I return them, because I can't use it.

    Good news. Do series 1-4 run in separate shows or are they still run
    together as the VHS tapes and the Dutch releases?

    Best wishes to you and yours for the festive season

    The first couple of seasons of Lovejoy are great, but then it turns silly.
    My wife and I just watched the first season of CHEF, which was highly
    recommended, but it was awful. Nothing like Fawlty Towers, which was
    great… to the point of being the best farce I've ever seen.

    If you like ONEDIN LINE, you'll also like POLDARK. The whole series is
    available. I'm talking about the 1970s series with Robin Ellis, not the
    1990s Poldark, concerning a younger generation.

    I also enjoyed the lesser known A FAMILY AT WAR, about a English family
    dealing with the early days of WWII.

    Onedin Line

    Hello! ..and to Elaine, and Bill, and Sgflikchik thank you very, very much
    for your replies. You know, my husband and I have only seen the first 8
    episodes and already we are loving this series. (Have any of you seen the
    Horatio Hornblower series?) And to think we have another 87 or so to
    go…it's nice to anticipate that. Back several years the James Herriot All
    Creatures Great and Small made us feel as if we were living in that
    series…they do such a great job on these series. We adore the Lovejoy
    series also. Have only seen the first season of that. Here in USA we have a
    company, Netflix, that has tons of old and new stuff that you can order
    online with a subscription…very little fee, and get prepaid postage
    return DVD's as often as I order…we reserved the remaining seasons of
    Lovejoy…and then I checked online about The Onedin Line and they don't
    have that, but I plan to call them and ask if they can get something that
    will play here and still give them a return on their investment…my next
    step is to check out my DVD player and television, to see if they have
    hidden capabilities… I have a multi region VHS player….and here also
    around Feb 17 (or so..the scheduled date has already been pushed back once)
    this entire country is changing from analog signal to digital signal…this
    may influence us as to whether we get a new DVD or TV …..The Onedin Line
    originally came to my notice while looking over the offerings in my local
    library…but they only have the first 8 episodes…they are probably
    subject to the same shortage of availability…O.K., I'm off to check out my
    current DVD player and TV……

    won't offer these for us folks in > region 2And I am dumbfounded why they
    have ANY region at all!! A lot of the old TV programmes are region-free (eg
    Lovejoy). Since the episodes are not showing anywhere that I know about, I
    don't see the reason for the region. Not that there is any real reason
    except a cash-grab for the regions, anyway but I'm not going to sort that
    one out in the next 5 minutes ;-)On the subject of PAL and NTSC – from the
    mid-80s I had a TV which played either format without a hitch. Even my old
    VHS machine had no problems – and it's more the TV than the player btw. I
    would be very surprised if today there is any TV less than 20 years old,
    never mind DVD player which would not play either format with equel
    dexterity. The VHSs machines and DVD players sold here all have 'NTSC
    playback' emblazoned on them. Working from the other end, perhaps the ones
    for sale in the US have 'PAL playback' somewhere on them or in the book. My
    understanding is that the chips necessary are cheap and it is simpler and
    therefore economic to make all the units the same rather than make
    specifically for a country or region.And it's long been a source of
    frustration that Onedin, with its world-wide popularity, is still
    languishing without being available as a boxed set. Just in the last 12
    months we've bought sets of Pie in the Sky, Tenko, Waiting for God to name a
    few. All far newer than Onedin and probably less popular. There is a hitch
    somewhere – a bottleneck – I'd love to know what it is or who it is and give
    them a kick somewhere significant. People are waiting patiently with money
    burning a hole in their pockets and the people in control couldn't (so it
    seems) care less about their customers. Aaarrgghh.Elaine in Brisbane,
