Why So Rare?, Oct 29 2009
By Le Vieux - Published on Amazon.com
Dalziel and Pascoe is one of my favorite detective series. Dalziel is not your usual chief detective and his relationship with the very different Pascoe makes the shows much more interesting than your average mystery. The series ran from 1996 through 2007. A total of 47 episodes were made, some of which were shown in the U.S. many years ago.I can't understand why neither the United States nor the UK is producing DVD's of all of these shows at this time. There have never been any U.S. releases to my knowledge. The UK released Series One and Two and then stopped. These DVD's are from The Netherlands which has released the first five series on DVD. The programs are in English with subtitles which can be turned off from the main menu. The disks are, however, REGION 2 PAL DISKS. You must have A REGION 2 OR REGION-FREE DVD PLAYER CAPABLE OF CONVERTING PAL SIGNAL TO NTSC. You can't play these on a standard U. S. DVD player.
The 4 episodes in this 4-Disk Boxed Set were originally shown in 1999 and are as follows:
On Beulah Height
Recalled to Life
Time to Go
The British Grenadier

These Are A New US Playable Release!, Jun 24 2011
By James E. Collins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dalziel & Pascoe: Season 4 (DVD)
I along with thousands (millions?) of Daiziel and Pascoe Fans have long awaited the release of US Playable (Region 1) sets of Dalziel and Pascoe's adventures. This is set 4, along with sets 1,2,and 3 these represent what I believe were the only episodes shown on US TV (A&E or PBS). The Series went on for 12 seasons, most of which were not available in the US. There are more seasons available from a Dutch company, these are playable on a european or a non-regional DVD Player, Which are not expensive but who wants 2 DVD players?These first series keep well to the original novels. Reginald Hill is one of the pemier Detective Novelist of our time, Dalziel and Pascoe are not his only characters as most of you know. Unfortunately, In the later Episodes the Film Makers strayed away from the novels. I believe Ellie was elimnated by divorce, as I haven't watched all the later episodes, I do not know if there are further deviations from the novels. Still this is one of the finest detective series availible.
That said, Dalziel and Pascoe are among some of the great pairings in Detective Mystery! This set No.4 includes Ep.12 - On Beulah Heights - Ep.13 -Recalled To Life - Ep.14 - Time To Go - Ep.15 - The British Grenadier. These are what i believe to be the last episodes seen on US TV. Hopefully they will contiune to release the rest of the Series.

3 very good episodes here, April 16 2010
By A viewer "diracfock" - Published on Amazon.com
The D-P series are a treat for my wife and I to watch.In this set,only the British Grenadier ep is somewhat weak.
As usual,Warren Clarke (Dalziel) impresses;he is clearly
the dominant figure throughout the series.Here,we see his
ex-wife for the first time;what a "tongue" on her! (until
the end when she mellows a bit).The photography is a bit
too dark-even in "daylight" scenes and the lack of English
subtitles (actors use English;subtitles are Dutch) cause
some minor difficulties. Overall this is a terrific set,
and we look forward to viewing the next series (#5)
Listmania!
