633squad 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Hello, Yes it is region 2, but a lot of these BBC recordings usually end up on other regions format sooner or later. I suppose this puts to rest the stories that the BBC lost some or all the episodes, and could not find them in their vaults. Personally, i have been waiting 30 years to see this (I was 18 and had other interests on a Sunday night!) Cheers 633 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stiffy 1 Posted September 30, 2009 Shouldnt be a problem watching it on a computer though... provided you have multi region software. Might have to get a copy of this at some point. Do you know what aircraft they used for filming? Not often you find authentic aircraft in something of this age... remember the strange radial engined german planes in Aces high?.. and the se5s with swept back wings. Would be great to find this more authentic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted September 30, 2009 Hi guys, there is a very interesting thread about this show at the Aerodrome Movie and T.V. forum. Gives the info about what planes were used for what shots and even has a chap that was involved or related to someone involved with the production. If interested check it out.

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted September 30, 2009 I will definitely be buying this when it becomes available here in the States. I was fortunate enough to have been stationed in England during the first run of this series, and watched every episode of it I could back then. Cheers!

+Polovski 460 Posted September 30, 2009 Excellent series, for once a series that tried to recreate what it was like, the unknown, the rumours, the misinformation, from pilots and the guy in trenches. The 2nd series was a little more fiction coming in but basically excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Hey, you guys - almost all DVD player's Regional code can be C H A N G E D ! Just Google the name of your player, plus: change regional code, and you will definitely get a simple instruction. On mine, it was a simple thing; I had to open the insert, then press some numbers, and then close it again. Dead simple. Later, you do the same procedure again, to change back. Childsplay. PS: Learnt that, cause I stumbled over a cheap offer of all the "Avengers" DVDs with Diana Rigg. I had to have them. Next on the list: Blackadder Edited September 30, 2009 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red-Dog 3 Posted October 1, 2009 Did anyone ever see Flambards,that was another BBC period drama about flying set before the great war? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted October 1, 2009 Did anyone ever see Flambards,that was another BBC period drama about flying set before the great war? No. You British have so many good series. I can't complain much, because Portuguese national TV transmitted a lot (at least the most important). Thanks, Red-Dog, I'll try to get a preview in internet.

My arrived in Portugal last Friday (23/10). I orderer it also from Play. The good news is it has subtitles in English (it helps a lot). Bad news are that it's not a good digital recovery. It's acceptable. Nothing that I wasn't expected. I remember, unfortunately, the work done on Brideshead Revisited. If this tv series were american than we would have a better chance.. But then again, americans are millions of light years away from us, europeans, in terms of digital recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnGresham 0 Posted October 30, 2009 Ahh that brings back memories, although I do seem to recall that the ambition clearly outweighed the budget, which obviously impacted on the scope and scale of what was possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
