Back in 1963 a new tv series started here in the UK. The family started watching it & we all became engrossed in it, so much we never missed an episode.

Unfortunately for me, I had only recenty started Secondary School (High School on your side) when the final 2 hour special was broadcast & I was a baaaaaaaad boy, so mum banned me from watching it.

To date, I have never seen the finale & often thought about ordering direct from the States, but the DVD's I've seen are bootleg & I want original good copies.

Imagine my surprise to find that on the 4th August, it is being released on DVD with 15 episodes per volume (as there was 240 episodes, making 16 volumes in total). I will definitely be collecting these.

Clue 1: A Quinn Martin Production
Clue 2: A one-armed man

Anyone remember this one?

Wasnt there a movie (starring Harrisson Ford and Tommy Lee Jones) made with the same title?

HEY SIRIUS B
YA I MISSED THE LAST ONE TOO, I CAN'T REMEMBER FOR SURE BUT THE REASON I MISSED IT IS LIKELY THE SAME AS YOURS.

Is it the original series of 'The Fugitive' that the Harrison Ford film was based on? I saw that on some reruns and the real fugitive had one arm and Dr Kimble was falsely accused and on the run

HERES A GREAT LINK TO HELP FIND THOSE OLD TV SHOWS

Yep, spot on guys, it was the Fugitive. They picked the right actor for the part of Dr Richard Kimble. Even now, 45 years later, I don't think there has been a series to touch it.

Here's another one for you...which came close!

Clue 1: A Quinn Martin Production
Clue 2: Main Charactor..Inspector Erskine
Clue 3: It ran for 249 episodes (I think)
Clue 4: 1965 - 1974

HEY
FOR YOU GUYS ACROSS THE POND.
THERE WAS QUITE A NUMBER OF SHOWS FROM THE UK THAT I ENJOYED FROM THAT ERA

SAINT
DANGERMAN
THE PRISONER
PERSUADERS
THE FLYING DOCTOR
AVENGERS
SPACE 1999

HOW WELL DID THOSE DO OVER THERE ?

F*#@IN BIG IDIOTS ?

SORRY THATS THE NICKNAME FOR THE REAL FBI BUT NOT THE TV SERIES

Pretty well

F.B.I I also enjoyed Efram Zimbalist's previous show with Ed "Cookie" Byrne...77 Sunset Strip.

LOL
I HAD YOU PEGGED AS A "PRISONER" FAN. HE WAS GOOD WASN'T HE.
WHAT ABOUT THE SHERLOCK HOLMES SERIES.?
MY FAVORITE WAS JEREMY BRETT ALTHOUGH THEY ALL WERE GREAT.
I WISH WE WOULD GET A FEW OF THESE SERIES BACK ON RERUNS.
I'D BE BUYING A VIDEO CAPTURE CARD AND SOME BIG HD'S

Why do you think I want my server fully populated with tb drives?

For me, the best Sherlock Holmes films were the old classics with Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce. Peter Cushing came close in "The Hound Of The Baskervilles". Growing up watching these, I couldn't rate Jeremy Brett. As for a video capture card, not needed, get a DVD recorder. I'll have to check with my brother if they can connect to a computer. He has a 160gb drive in his. At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to bypass macrovision on all my tapes. Crack that & all my videos are going on the server/s.

I envy North America as one can buy all the films/series they wish as over here, it really is difficult to track them down. For example, one of my favourite cop series is CHiPs & have the complete series 1 on DVD & Server. Still trying to track down the rest.

Just started adding another of my favourite series to server......Only got the 1st season so far..

Clue 1: 12 Seasons
Clue 2: Co-Star starred as the young green lieutenant in "Battle of the Bulge"
Clue 3: Main Star played Felix Leiter in a Bond film
Clue 4: Very catchy theme music

BOOK HIM DANNO !!

HEY SIRIUS B
I TRIED GETTING INTO YOUR SITE WITH THE USER NAME AND PASSWORD POSTED WAY BACK A FEW MONTHS.
NO GO. ALL I GET IS THE SIGN IN PAGE AND CAN'T GO ANY FARTHER.
POST THE ADDRESS AGAIN. I WANT TO VISIT,

Three guesses what I think is the all time greatest television series bar none. Starred two Canadians, one was missing a finger which he had blown or shot off serving in WWII. Can you guess what it was?

That's not fair Kalu, give us some clues. Was it "Police Story" which starred William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy at one time?

@Zappdog.......... https://Dacom-UK.homeserver.com/remote - no problems here with that access code. Post comments in Server Test Thread, thanks. So far, Powerpack 1 seems to be ok - still several tests to run.

Yep, H 5-O. Didn't realise that it went to 12 seasons & originally broadcast in Sept 68. Jeebers, I'm getting old Still looking forward to 4th Aug for the Fugitive Season 1 - THAT's going on server instantly IF I have enough space left by then As soon as the TB Drives come down to £70 approx, I'm going to get 40, & that still won't be enough

Hey Zappdog, were you able to access server?

Or was it one of my favourite WWII series - "The Rat Patrol"

HEY SIRIUS B
I GOT IN THIS TIME FROM MY WORK COMPUTE.
I'LL TRY AGAIN WHEN I GET HOME.
THE SELECTION IS LOOKING GREAT. THERES A FEW I LOOK FORWARD TO.
X FILES FOR ONE. IT HASN'T BEEN RERUN OVER HERE FOR A LONG TIME AND I'VE BEEN HOPING
IT WOULD COME BACK ON SOON.
I LOOK FORWARD TO EXPLORING WHEN I GET HOME.
THANKS
DR.Z

Be careful, X-Files NOT on there yet. I have to keep a % free for when upgrading drives - No free space, no upgrading without losing files. With the complete 9 seasons of X-Files & 8 seasons of Charmed, together with others I want to put on, requires over 2tb of space & only got 512gb left. That's the main reason why I WANT 40 1tb drives

40 TB !!!
WITH 2 HDD'S IN MY MAIN BOX I HAVE A TOTAL OF 12 G (4.3 G AND 8 G )
MY 200 GIG BLEW UP A WHILE BACK AND I JUST HAVEN'T NEEDED ANY EXTRA STORAGE.
THANKS TO SKYDRIVE AND A COUPLE OTHER STORAGE SITES, I DON'T SEEM TO NEED IT.
THE 4.3 ISN'T BIG ENOUGH FOR XP AND PRINTER DRIVERS BUT ITS PLENTY BIG ENOUGH FOR PUPPY WITH 4.2 G LEFT OVER.

OH YA I GOT INTO YOUR SITE OK. I JUST HAD TO DELETE THE COOKIES AND RE-ENTER THE PASSWORD.
NOW TO SIT BACK AND EXPLORE !
THANKS SIRIUS B

Are you being serious? I thought you knew the answer and were just toying with me. William Shatner is a Canadian and was in the show I'm referring to. Leonard Nimoy is not a Canadian though, he was born in Boston. I thought the answer was obvious but maybe not, just look to my sig for more clues.....that's if this one doesn't do it>

My humble apologies Kalu, I was not toying with you. The last 8 days have been SNAFU for me & believe or not, the solutions were simple ones

Yep I have ALL episodes of EVERY season & EVERY spinoff, with the exception of the last one - they stopped doing it on Video. GUESS WHAT - once tb drives have come down to a reasonable cost, I am going to get 20x 5 bay E-Sata boxes & including internal for both Server & workstation now that it is attached to WHS, 135 tb drives - AND that still won't be enough for my media DVD's/Tapes.............

At the moment............1941 DVD's...3000 Videos (not including the 640 blank tapes with 3/5 films per tape) - I like TNG & Andrea prefers Voyager, but regardless, they are ALL going on the server!!!

Hey Zappdog, if you haven't already seen it, check out the NT folder

I have the Prisoner too. It's such an awesome series. I was so disappointed that none of my friends have ever heard of it.

I'm also gaga over Doctor Who - both the original tv run and the audio plays from Big Finish.

I have fond memories of watching britcoms like Are you being served and keeping up appearances with my grandmother, she really got me into the british entertainment. She got my mom addicted to Coronation Street, but I still haven't developed a taste for it. I hate sappy soaps. Give me space operas any day!

I have way too many videos that I haven't watched yet. It'd probably take me years to get through it all. I kept buying up external drives until my friends starting accusing me of plotting to take over the world through storage space! 40 tb, drool!

I have seen every episode on every series also all the movies. I liked the Enterprise series the most.
