Does anyone know why the DVDs of the 1980's John Sullivan comedy 'Dear John' starring the late Ralph Bates, do not seem to be available anywhere ? Is it perhaps due to some restriction built into Ralph Bates's wil ? In any case, if anybody has any information on where I could obtain a copy (legally !) I'd be most grateful.

I bought a load of the boxed sets from Woolworths about two years ago for �16 including p&p.

I sold the lot on eBay for well over �50 each - I couldn't understand why people were prepared to pay so much instead of buying online from Woolworths as I did.

Woolworths ran out of stock and I couldn't get anymore.

There is currently one boxed set on Amazon for �75, or a Buy it Now on eBay for �35

It is simply not being produced anymore. It is also available from my local library for hire.
I don't think it's ever been produced on DVD, No idea why because I'm sure it would sell, perhaps there is some legal reason. Ethel is referring to something ancient called fideeo! I have it copied to DVD from the Tapes. Classic series. They do endless repeats of some shows and gems like this never see the light of day, I don't get it!
Perhaps if enough of us post messages like these it will be released. A true classic.
