5.0 out of 5 stars We need this on Region 1 DVD's, March 23, 2007

This review is from: A Family at War (DVD)

Why oh why is not this fabulous series available on Region 1 DVD?! I watched it on TV back in Sweden in the 70's and the whole country was glued to their TV-sets. It was as popular as "Upstairs Downstairs" and "The Forsyte Saga". Good quality television from the UK (where else). Trust the Brits to always make the best series and it would be nice if Americans could enjoy this series too.

Regrettably, the discs won't play in US formatted DVD players. I remember these films from the early 1970's and was elated to have found them available only to be disappointed. Here is what they said:

Our DVDs are in UK format. If you cannot play them in the USA you will need to contact the company from whom you purchased for and exchange or refund. The USA has a different TV system to the UK so you need to check that DVDs are compatible before purchasing from the UK.
