@BritMystery The only DVDs of Martin Shaw's Dalglish stories that I can find at a reasonable price are Region 2. Both of them were recently shown on the Drama Channel in the UK and are streaming on UKTVPLAY, which is probably not accessible to viewers outside the UK.
Sheerwater, I am on the hunt for a new all region DVD player. I had a Philips for years that played beautifully, but it finally died. I tried a portable one I found on Amazon, the picture wasn't too great and it broke in a year. I did locate a used Philips exactly like the one I had been using originally - the picture is fine, the sound isn't - very muffled. I think the unit is just too old. For that TV I need the old style cable player - not an easy find these days. I may have to locate one that can be used with the smart tv I have in the bedroom if I can't find the cable one. I wouldn't mind another portable, but what I see are no better quality than the one I had. Gone are the days when top electronic companies are making these.
When you mentioned the Region 2 DVD, it made me think to see if I could locate S4 of "Bergerac" as that season will never be shown again on TV (or Britbox). I went from S3 to S5 and now that I am almost finished with S5, I would like to go back and see S4 again. Once this series moves on to S6 it definitely changes. One of my favorite characters, Diamante Lil (Mela White) is still in S4. There may come a time when the DVD is no longer available.
I did find "Bergerac" S4 on Amazon!
