<p class="yiv0512572658MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt;LINE-HEIGHT:13pt;"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:14pt;">Thanks Scott for the nice words. I came across the
interview lately, I haven’t seen it myself since 1971, but I vaguely remembered
Lesley Nunnerely singing.</span></p>
<p class="yiv0512572658MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt;LINE-HEIGHT:13pt;"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:14pt;">As I mentioned “Familien Ashton” was extremely popular
here, I guess nearly all the population watched it (with only one TV channel at
the time…). Colin Douglas came here several times and it was even published a
book about him and the series (with a lot of interesting pictures.)</span></p>
<div><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:14pt;">Regarding
the DVDs, I need Norwegian (or English) subtitles (it’s a rather dialogue heavy
series), but it might be interesting to have the Dutch one for
comparison.</span></div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE:small;TEXT-DECORATION:none;FONT-FAMILY:"Calibri";FONT-WEIGHT:normal;COLOR:#000000;FONT-STYLE:normal;DISPLAY:inline;">The
interview is an INCREDIBLE treat! For an American in 2018 to watch a Norwegian
TV interview from 1971 is mindbending! The quality of the interview is TOPS! All
AFAW fans need to see it. Thank you for providing this!<br><br><br><br>

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).</span></p>
<p class="yiv0512572658MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;LINE-HEIGHT:normal;"><span>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.</span></p>

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.</span></p>
<p class="yiv0512572658MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;LINE-HEIGHT:normal;"><span>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.</span></p>
