Originally posted by CalgaryAMC So is there a special Christmas episode not on series 1 or series 2!?! I shall have to find a way of getting hold of it! :D Another good comedy to watch out for there is "Little Britain" which is played on BBC 3 & 2 here. Some sketches are a little off the wall but very very funny ;) |

Originally posted by CalgaryAMC Series 1 and 2 (DVD), now on sale at Wal-Mart. I paid $23 for series 1 in Calgary, and it was worth every penny in laughs. I have never seen it before, but after hearing about it non-stop from friends back in England, I had to get it. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. That is fab news. We had series one and two back in the Uk but had to give them to family due to the differences in the TV system!!! Hurray, we will be going to wal mart to show off the quality of our English comedy. Hope our canadian family enjoys it and gets the humour!!! Does anyone know if you can get Pheonix nights in Canada or somewhere on the net that has the same settings for canada. Thanks Gaynor |

Am sure you can order it from the net, and even if it is not the same settings ( region 1 ) as canada, DVD players can be made to play any region you want. Here is mine that plays anything from anywhere, i don't even need to burn my songs, 1000 and odd mp3 songs on a cd, and all i have to do is sit back and relax

Did it need any modification or did it come like that? If it's sold as a 'play all' could you please give me some info on model #, price and where purchased? Any picture or sound issues? Thanks! |
Hello there,
The dvd player will play any dvd from anywhere in the world, i should know because most of my dvds are from the UK, and from greece ( my wife is half greek ). Here is the player info: TOSHIBA SD 240E ( It has a digital decoder for surrounder sound with my home theatre system ), note that if you buy a player without a digital decoder, you won't be able to use it for surround sound with a home theatre system. The dvd player has a switch at the back that lets you push it up to NTSC when you in the usa/canada, you don't even need a transformer, just an adaptor for the plug to fit in. I paid £100 for it, and got it from tottenham court road in london, am sure the price has gone down now. The sound is excellent, picture perfect, good screen interface, it even plays JPEG pictures saved on a disc Originally posted by jonthelad Hi Mick, So that DVD player will play DVD's from the UK then?

You can always tune into SHOWCASE and TV ontario, if you are in this neck of the woods, the weekend and mid week is full of british stuff.
I was watching re-runs of keeping up appearances last night, and two point four kids. |
Thanks for the info Mick - greatly appreciated!
