That's right: no Region 1, and no odds of ever getting it. *headwall* The BBC just doesn't care.

But the DVDs are fine (especially from the POV of someone who was introduced to the show via fourth-generation camera-copied VHS tapes). The packaging was dreadful, but the recordings are fine. I was able to throw away my VHS tapes, anyway!

Aw. Still, glad they work well enough, and even though piracy (except for the space/penguin type) is not to be applauded, it is different when they won't sell you the proper stuff! And things are going more to the players being multi-region, especially in pcs, so one day (should you feel like it), you can say :-p to the Beeb (only nicely, please, we are rather fond of them for making Doctor Who and Classic dramatisations and other good things) and have the Region 2 ones. Obviously they either don't feel there is enough of a demand (so maybe ninja penguins are needed?) or there is one of those weird licensing issues that are beyond my small brain. Someone should tell Avon to sort it out. Or Vila. (Except he would sell you dodgy pirate ones that had early episodes of Coronation Street or something on instead.)

(Sorry. Am waffling.)
