[Afamilyatwar-list] Family at War cast on Norwegian TV

[Scott Filderman]

Knut—-
Just Entertainment published a complete set of the series; you can find it on Amazon in a box DVD set, complete with Dutch subtitles. I have not seen Norwegian or Swedish subtitles. The set is complete, whereas there are a few small cuts in the Acorn set, although nothing that affects the story line. Also, the Just set has better quality—sharper color. Highly recommended! This is likely the VERY BEST series ever to come out of the UK, right up there with Matador!

Thank you for allowing me to this forum.



 

I live in Norway and have been a fan of the series since I watched it on Norwegian TV (NRK) in the early 70s (being 11-12 years at the time).

I had got the Acorn DVD set, but without subtitles it was a bit difficult to follow the dialogue. Luckily I recently discovered there is a Norwegian DVD set with subtitles from 2008-2010.

It’s probably sold out now, but I bought it second hand and have now started re-watching. I think there were similar DVD editions in Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

The set seems more complete than the Acorn; including some deleted scenes (like the Porters at the wedding, ep.3) and the “End of Part 1” “Part 2” idents with music etc. I don’t know if it’s totally uncut of course.

 

 

The series was of course hugely popular in Norway, and in November 1971 some of the cast were guests at a popular NRK Saturday night entertainment show.

It’s Edwin, David, Frida and Margaret with her little boy in a relaxed conversation with the host Erik Bye, and in the end Margaret sings the song “Crow on the Cradle”.

Note people were smoking on TV in those days!



 
I have included a link to the NRK archive (should be watchable abroad). It’s towards the end of the programme at 1:07. Press “Vis mer” in blue letters at the end below the picture, and then items 16 & 17 (about Familien Ashton) in the list.
