I'm an Aussie living in London and have missed all the Australian episodes of this show.

Are they available to purchase somewhere?  I'd love to watch them.

They appear to be available from the SBS shop. (I didn't even know there was one  ) Try Googling for the link.

You'll need to check to see if they'll ship abroad - it might add up to be quite expensive.

Maybe a friend or relative in Australia can buy them and send them to you? I think the ABC Shop sells them.

I'm not sure if Australian DVD's are compatable with the UK systems (I think an adaptor used to be required for 'videos' many moons ago).

Alternatively you may find downloadable versions on the internet.

They're well worth watching and of the same great quality as the UK series.

And yes, some trips to Europe and beyond are on the cards. But also some great Australian stories too.

All will be revealed

Sounds like a good mix.

Sorry to be a spoilsport, but why does it appear on SBS where I can't receive the signal (I don't believe I'm alone in this regard)
If there is enough demand could it be repeated on the ABC for those in the same situation as me?

Oh no! That's a shame Les. 

I think some have been on the ABC ... or might that  have been the English series?

Thank you Ruskie. My troubles started with Digital transmission, plasma etc., but this is not the forum for TV problems. I did see the series featuring Jack Thompson in one of the episodes, probably Series 1. Will never forget Jack describing his Convict ancestor as "Australian Royalty". Anyway, the ABC doesn't have advertisements, yet!

Les,
We had the same problem receiving SBS.  I complained to my husband in a language I could not repeat on here.
He had a new Antenna installed - now we receive SBS without any problems.
Perhaps it may be worth looking into.

Fantastic, Diana,

Thank you so much for letting us know

I'm looking forward to the Rod Marsh episode too.

most English DVD players are now multi-region... but its advisable to check the specs of your own model first before sending off for the DVDs 

Such a shame they don't show the Oz series here in the UK, the research and story telling is brilliant.
