Knut—-<div><br></div><div>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!<br><br><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Friday, June 1, 2018, 7:30 AM, Knut Willersrud via Afamilyatwar-list <afamilyatwar-list@baylor.edu> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv5684301989">

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).</span></p>
<p class="yiv5684301989MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;LINE-HEIGHT:normal;"><span style="">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>
<p class="yiv5684301989MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;LINE-HEIGHT:normal;"><span style="">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.</span></p>
<p class="yiv5684301989MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;LINE-HEIGHT:normal;"><span style="">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>

<p class="yiv5684301989MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;LINE-HEIGHT:normal;"><span style="">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.</span></p>

Edwin, David, Frida and Margaret with her little boy in a relaxed conversation
