Awesome Series...

I have seen the original movie a number of times, then I stumbled upon this series. Wonderfully done and in great detail. Just think it was 40 years ago, I still think this is a great show.

Ben Cross and Clare Higgins chemistry throughout this series was the best I've seen in a long time. Michael Cochrane was also intriguing and spot on character, as well. Gareth Thomas was excellent as Dr. Denny.

Locations and scenery was well founded, during the time frame was so realistic and interesting.

Does anyone know a streaming service or which company released the DVD set?

I have seen this twice, and am trying to find a copy on DVD.
