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>

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>

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>

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>
