THE ONEDIN LINE
Those who remember the popular long running BBC Period Drama "The
Onedin Line" which was set in Liverpool but filmed in the West Country
may be interested to know the entire series 1 thro' 8 can be obtained
from outlets in mainland Europe quiet easily over the web through
eBay.
Unfortunately in the UK the BBC have only ever released series 1 and 2
- first on VHS and later on DVD.
However, the series had a big following on mainland Europe and the
Dutch DVD producer "Memphis Belle" has now issued series 1 thro' 8 on
DVD.

All dialogue is in English by the way, the Dutch subtitles can be
switched off.
If you wish to renew your acquaintance with this series or discover it
for the first time a search on Ebay will quickly return details or
dealers in the Netherlands and Germany who stock the disks at very
reasonable prices.
