Loved the show! I see it is available on DVD in the UK , Region 2 PAL.
Is there hope for us poor souls in North America ? I would love to get it on DVD.
So is our Lot in Life, living in a techno world with different protocols, wires, and gimmicks.
Oh yea ... This was THE britcom for me (next to Monty Python's Flying Circus). Why oh why won't they release this on dvd for Region one. I think a lot of people would welcome this dvd set wholeheartedly. Hopefully someone who can make this happen is listening to the fans - bring this series back - PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON DVD :-) Duncan was my favorite character (even named my kitten after him). It is so sad he passed away so young.
shareI can't find this in the UK. I didn't even know whether they had released it.

I didn't think they had released it.
I know they had released all the films (I own 'Doctor in Trouble' on DVD).
It's a shame that they haven't released this series as it was very funny...one of the best UK shows.

I would love to see this on DVD. Haven't seen it since it originally aired. I remember it as being so funny.
sharePlease, please release this on DVD for the USA!
I loved this show and everyone should be able to see it.
Hi ppl well I remember watching this tv series back in the 70's. I thought it was hilarios and I want to see it again. I am in Canada and I sure hope they run it again here and I have seen other posts saying the same thing. I have searched over and over to try to get a dvd because it is out in UK again but as we north americans know region 2 will not play here so I am back to possibly finding the series on vhs..Please bring it back.... if anyone has any further answers of where to find it please let me know Thanks [email protected]
Doctor in the house DVD the TV Programme is now available on DVD of series 1 & 2 but sadly it is region 2 you can find it at www.play.com or www.amazon.co.uk

I recommend buying a region-free dvd player; they're really not very expensive anymore (mine was about $65 Canadian, and that was 2 years ago). Especially for Canadians, we saw SO much British TV, and I wonder how much of it will ever be available on Region 1. I got the complete "Cribb" from the UK - I think just one or two episodes were made available on Region 1 (testing the market, perhaps), and they were as expensive as getting the whole set from Britain! "Raffles" too - I don't think that's completely available in North America. With a region-free player, all your troubles are over.
Flat, drab passion meanders across the screen!
I too recommend getting a region-free dvd player. We finally broke down and got one and love ours to death. Even discounting the region-free part we love it more than the regular player we had before and they really aren't that expensive anymore. We're enjoying our new copy of Doctor in the House even as we speak :-)
shareRosabel's right. I got my region-free from Amazon.com; it cost about $110 American two years ago and has seen an incredible amount of use, as I play all my videos - Region One and Two alike - on it.
Alternatively, you can play your Region Two videos on your computer. Almost all computers come with DVD programs these days, and most of them allow you to reset the regions three or four times before it locks in whatever region you've chosen last. If your computer has more than one DVD program (most have at least two), you can set one program for Region One and the other for Region Two. Or download the best, Intervideo WinDVD, for about sixty dollars, right off the Internet.
Then you won't be bothered by these silly region codes ever again, and you can watch tons of great British and Australian TV.
Doctor in the House alone makes it worth the price.

Thanks anerbythesea for letting us know about this series on DVD in the UK.. Wonderful. I already have a region free DVD and it is not Right and makes no business sense to limit these series to Europe... I have French movies also that will never make it here on Zone 1 DVD... I can just imagine how the great Minds of Entertainment separated the world in Regions for their DVD. Pretty scary thought... In a world where more people can enjoy Youtube and the likes all over the NET, what are they waiting for to democratize DVD players and make them all Zone free.. What a racket!!!
someone beat me to it lol
shareI was going to recommend a region-free dvd player too. I got an inexpensive Philips, around $60. And yes, it's totally worth it just for the Doctor in the House dvds! I'm so thrilled. Just got the 1st season from Amazon UK (I live in NYC). It arrived in 4 days, and shipping cost only about $5.50. What a wonderful world.
