Thanks Neal, I'll consider getting a region free DVD player. Episodes of From A Bird's Eye View are on You Tube, so that's a good thing. You Tube doesn't have much in regards to Dial 999 but maybe some episodes will be posted as time goes along.
I'm considering to order the Dial 999 DVD set but the discs are said to be region 2 not region 1 so I'm reluctant to order and thinking that the discs won't be compatible with my DVD player.
For this same reason, I'm reluctant to order the DVD set of From A Bird's Eye View as those discs are...
I agree with your comment. Black and white shows just have that "classic TV" feel to them. And suspense shows like The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock, being in black and white just adds to the suspense and film noir atmosphere.
