Wow, just came across this thread and amazed to see what people have amassed over the years!
Anyhoo, just a quick question - has anyone got the Potter series on VHS or DVD? I don't remember it at all but my brother in law has been after it for a while. I'm not sure if it's ever been released either but I'm sure that some of you knowledgeable types will have a better idea than me.

I could have sworn Network released these on dvd. I know I have it either way because I remember watching it at the weekend. |

some impressive posts on here.
I recorded a lot of movies, and dubbed them to DVD. Also quite a lot of sporting events. The only series I really have, is every episode of the wire, and I have never watched a single one! I got quite a lot of merlin, and the Dr Who reboot - before giving on up them. Again, I don't think I have rewatched any of them. now radio shows. I used to have a few odd recordings of radioactive, and the grumbleweeds, but I would absolutely love to have full sets of those two. They wouldn't air the Grumbleweeds now, as one of the characters was always doing Jimmy Savile impressions. |

FYI in the UK it's illegal to build collections of TV shows. According to the IPO, TV recorders are only to be used for timeshifting - from the horse's mouth :

However, if you click through to section 70 of the ACTUAL LEGISLATION, it makes no mention of this.
I guess by laws terms they should stop selling boxsets in the shops too. |

Shows that perseverance pays off I guess. I have been some shows for about as long
The BBC are utter hounds in terms of what they hold back from us even though we are licence fee payers I can understand why they do this with shows that can be bought on DVD but with soaps and other things that are not available I don't see why they do it. |

Because, quite simply, you didn't ask....
That's probably how they see it |

Pisses me off when people upload old episodes of things like EastEnders on YouTube then the BBC report the video on copyright grounds and insist that the uploader takes the video down, but invariably the account it was uploaded with ends up being suspended thus losing every other video on the channel.
I can understand why they do this with shows that can be bought on DVD but with soaps and other things that are not available I don't see why they do it. Either leave the video intact on youtube, make your own streaming site where fans can watch older episodes or RELEASE THE BLOODY THINGS FOR PEOPLE TO BUY! |

I am going to buy those dvd's of PCBH from Australia Dennis. People think I'm mad.
(which I probably am a little) but at least I can get rid of the tapes.Also, like you I too edited out the ads and PCBH was on at 11.40PM. I had to get the remaining eps (after ITV dropped it) from Channel 5 and that was on at 4.40AM. ![]() It's nice to meet someone as like minded. Most think I am a little around the bend. (and I couldn't care less) ![]() |
