Sweeney on Region 1 DVDs

[Yor Nicht]

Howdy, y'all.

I bought the Sweeney season 1 on US DVD last year, and through a bunch of research, see that there's not much chance of any further releases in the near future. The company that put it out has been shut down, and there seems to be no interest in the US market.

It's strange considering how hot the Morse series was in the US, that whoever owns the rights to the Sweeney didn't capitalize on that at the time.

In any case, thanks for keeping interest in the phenomenon alive.

Your best bet is to get a Region Free DVD player, and buy the Region 2 box sets from Amazon

Thank you, good doctor!

Looks like Amazon.com now has Series 2 for the princely sum of $53.99

As Series 2 of Van Der Valk has recently become available in Region 1, there must be a niche market in North America for British-made cop shows.

Interesting way of spelling your login, from your posts it looks like you're a 'septic' but that spelling looks teutonic

Doesn't matter though, either way you're welcome as a Sweeney fan

I'd have said he was from Hampshire - looking at the spelling.....

I suppose that's the best response I should expect from a Brummie!

Brummie? BRUMMIE? Doc, don't put up with that our kid!

Everyone know I'm not a brummie so I take no notice of the Hampshire Hampton....

Better to be the Hampshire Hampton than the Dudley Dangler

All 4 series released by Network are Region 0. Only 'Regan' and the two films are Region 2.

Looking on Amazon.com, all 4 series are now available in Region 1 releases though all for the fairly expensive price quoted above for Series 2, so unlikely to attract many impulse buys.
