Version


I hired this out from my video shop.

There are only 2 of the 6 episodes on the disc.

Are the remaining four episodes actually available on DVD?

You had the original BBC version - the other 4 episodes are sadly missing - lost/wiped from the BBC archives.
This thread is for the Hammer movie remake.
There was also a BBC4 remake made in 2004 which was (I feel) only so-so.
