Why so rare?

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 2000 and are as follows:
A Sweeter Lazarus
Cunning Old Fox
Foreign Bodies
Above the Law

I can finally watch all the Dalziel & Pascoe I want! I bought a Phillips "region free" DVD player and these work perfectly in it. They are the regular English broadcasts with Dutch sub-titles, which are simple to turn off. I will be buying Series 6 through 11, since they are all available in this format.
REMEMBER, if you don't have a region free (or Region 2) DVD player these discs will not work. They will not work in a standard USA DVD player, since we are Region 1.

Dalziel & Pascoe is another great who done it British series. Two detectives that are opposite each other but solve cases together. It is unfortunate that they don't have a DVD Region I US version of this set, but there is a work around.
You can download VLC video player for free onto your computer. VLC can then be used to play these DVDs with no problem. I have a hook up for my computer to my TV through an HDMI cable, so I could watch all these shows on my TV without a Region 2 DVD player. So if you love this show as I do, there is a way to watch this series and enjoy the twist and turns.
This Series 5 is a Netherlands copy, but it is the full English version with Dutch subtitles that can be turned off. The video quality was a little grainy but does not detract from watching this set. So if you enjoy this series here is way you can and not have to wait to see if they come out with a US version.
I also received this set in a very timely fashion, so there was no long wait for delivery.
