Hi, One of our members was doing DVD copies off VHS tapes at one time. I can't speak for him, but I recall that he stopped doing the DVDs after somebody else made secondary copies of his DVD's. This person then started flooding online auction sites like eBay with them. He also made trouble for our member and got his ads booted off eBay. The fellow even had the nerve to become a member of this forum at one time so he could try to sell his wares. He gave no acknowledgement to the fact that his DVDs were copies of copies, and he even lifted photos from this forum to use on his eBay ads. Needless to say I gave him the boot.

None of this solves your problem of course, but it does give a reason why the series is no longer available. I suspect that once sales died down this fellow lost interest in the series. He was selling it on an online auction site, but I can't recall the name of the site now.

I also saw the series listed on some rather sleazy Russian torrent site once, after I followed the link from a Google search. You may still find it on a torrent, but I would not recommend you download anything from those sites. Some of those sites are plagued by viruses and malware.

Keep looking on eBay and a copy may some day be listed again.

Hello Ian, I have come across your excellent forum quite by chance and during one of my periodic trawls of the net to try to find a copy of the series, do you know of any recent developements or indeed who I might contact to copy/borrow one of the DVD copies that are mentioned on your forum.

First a feast, then a famine!! It seems that very few people are selling this DVD anywhere now. Another member suggested a site to me, the link to which I have provided below. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have no idea who is releasing this and strangely do not really care! )

I must add however that this forum is not affiliated with whoever the seller is and this link should not be construed as an advertisement. I am simply providing it here for information purposes, while not wishing to promote or condone such sales.

I understand that the DVD is also "available" from some extremely disreputable and potentially virus-ridden Torrent sites. So another reason why I am showing this link is to prevent people who may be searching for the series from taking that dangerous path.

If anyone has had any experiences with this website, either good or bad, please let the rest of us know.

Take care!
