Hitchcock Presents 1985 Remake Request

Does anyone know if the 1985 remakes of 'Hitchcock presents' are available to buy on DVD, as I have been looking everywhere and I can only find silly prices from America?

(Or even if anyone knows of any online streaming sites where I could get this from)

In particular I am after the episode 'Final Escape', where a convict ends up buried alive with the person who is meant to be helping him escape.

Thanks in advance! :)

    I'd forgotten about this series so thanks for reminding me. Wasnt this where they took the original b/w hitchcock intros, colorised them and then used new stories (i was never sure if they refilmed the original stories or created new ones).

    I will check if there are any streaming sites.

    I really can't remember! - I saw this episode a few years ago and was reminded of it tonight whilst watching '100 scariest moments' :)

    I did a google search..lots of streaming sites out there..(hulu/fancast/sling)....unfortunately you have to be in usa to watch .
    But if you go to eztv it tells you how to watch outside usa (not sure if this is genuine)

    I remember the Hitchcocks halfhours in 1969
    on a friday night in our ITV region. I was 14 then [that's my excuse]
    He appeared as a silhoute [i realise I've spelt that wrong] in the intros. He appeared for a while at the beginning and then at the end.

    Tried that one already I'm afraid & had no joy - Think it's just a scam to get you to install the player, but many thanks anyway! :)

    I finally found the original version (not the 1985 version) on sharetv.org - If anyone else wants it/the series then you will have to spoof your IP to an American one.

    If anyone else has found the 1985 version please let me know! :)
