If you like the ABC version you should really check out the BBC original sometime!

How? I have heard from other sources the original is really great. Just looked on Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk....can't find it in Region 1 or Region Free.

I suppose there may be a website where I can download and watch it, but I'd prefer to watch on the TV...and yes, I could hook my laptop to my TV....but I'm looking for ease here. And if it's that good, I'd like to add it to my collection.

It was a pain, but I actually downloaded it via bittorrent then converted it to DVD. I'm with you on the whole "watching it on TV" I hate watching stuff on the computer! You can find Region 1 bootlegs all day long on Ebay too.

I looked on ebay and didn't intentionally rule out any boot-legs....guess I need to look further.

was hoping the Blu-ray would be region free, but the amazon.co.uk site doesn't specifically list the region for the Blu....so....well I'm not ordering and hoping....guess I could ask.. :roll:

I love, love, love this show. Having grown up on 70's cop shows this show feels just like on, when in flashback mode. I have seen every episode and don't remember a robot though.
I can't wait for the new episodes.

The original BBC series as you say was brilliant.

There is a follow up series called 'Ashes to Ashes' - are you getting that one yet?

That, my friend, was a cool way to end the series.
