Re: UK Shows I would love to see on DVD

Why not just go ahead and get a multi-system player, though, if you haven't already? For about $40, you can get a decent, name brand one (Philips) and play anything in the world. I've ordered many, many titles that have never made the trip to R1 land.

Attachments (2000)
Not that this helps you, but this was released on PAL VHS and is now OOP

Strangerers, The (2000)
This isn't very likely. Doug Naylor (I think) was asked about a VHS release of this several years ago and basically said there wasn't enough interest, and a big factor was the low ratings and the fact it's never been repeated on TV. I was able to get someone in England to tape it for me off-air at the time, though.

What UK shows would everyone else love to see

Oh, I've got several that I'd like to see, in any region, including the likes of:

EBC (Emu's Broadcasting Company)
Rutland Weekend Television
The Cleopatras
Ghosts (1995, BBC series)
Secret Army in R1 (the R2s are just way too expensive)
Blakes 7 (some of the R2 sets had authoring problems in early batches, and I'd be almost afraid to order one in case I got stuck with some "old stock")
Come Back, Mrs Noah (with Are You Being Served so popular, it's probably got the best chance of the bunch to get a release in R1 before anywhere else, as it stars Mollie Sugden!)

I know there's more, but that's just a small short-list!
