It's nice to see that you're still alive, Karli :-) Yes, Wolfgang, I am. We're happy that this DVD box set finally came out some months ago. We wished that such comprehensive kind of booklet also had beed included in the UK release. Unfortunately we had some major differences of opinion on certain ...

It's imprinted PAL REGION 4 but they're indeed region free.

Tony, you hit that nail square on the head… ;o)
Best,

Karl

Great news! :D Thanks, Karli. Knowing the UK DVD release finally is on the way, will let me sleep much better now… and my odyssey finally paid off. @ Tony No German subtitles and brilliant film quality are announced. My focus is to involve Marcus, Gary, Jenny and Gail in the bonus film material. So...

We are still waiting for a UK release though, Karli! Here we go Tony! On 2nd April 2012 the „Famous Five“ 1978/79 TV series finally will come on DVD in the UK too. Releasing UK DVD label will be “G2 Entertainment Ltd.” and distributor the German-based company “Koch Media Ltd.” A real smashing DVD c...

Yes, Tony and Lucky Star, it's most embarrassing that the FAMOUS FIVE 1978/79 are left out in the cold in theirs and Enid's mother country… I did not urge on the UK release last few months because Oscar Beuselinck, director at Mediumrare Entertainment already was in licence negotiations. And now, su...

Karli, After all our correspondence I'm so so so chuffed for you along with all the fans, are you coming to the 2010 day? Be good to catch up Indeed would be great to catch up there, Zöe… Due to my visits to Munich concerning the DVD works, I hope it won’t overlap. I’ll try my best, not to miss the...

@Petermax: Wouldn’t it also be great to make a small DVD bonus track with some comments of the spook train driver “Andy Crespin”? An interesting idea Karli. Andy Crespin is easy contactable via Facebook should the DVD producers wish to take up this option. The DVD producers „moviemax“ in Munich alr...

Don’t worry, peppermint peppy. I also thought, „Yeah, right!”, when I first read about it on the Cinefacts forums because of all the rumours in the past. But then I saw Karli Kolar's announcement and I knew it was true. I was so excited and I had to post it here or else I would have gone mad :shock...

Tony is totally right.
It seems that Captain Jack Sparrow and his fellow pirates have something to do
with that DVD…
