Don't Miss Episodes 12 + 13 on Acorn DVD (Spoiler Alert!)


Like many of you on the discussion board, To Serve Them All My Days is my favorite of dozens of BBC serials I've enjoyed over the years. I've been on a Netflix binge lately, watching all my old favorites. I was watching Acorn's 4th disc of TSTAMD and finished Episode 11, and it appeared to be the final one. Well Episode 11 ends with Chris breaking it off with David and heading to Canada and David being made headmaster. It had been nearly 30 years since I last watched this series, and I thought "well, end of story". Thankfully, I was reading several topics on the discussion board and noticed references to Chris (Susan Jameson) and her life with David at Bamfylde. So I searched the IMDB discussion board further and found there were two more episodes....mystery revealed! Disc 4 shows photos of Episodes 10 & 11 to access them, with a small, un-labeled arrow at the bottom of the screen. Well, press this arrow and it takes you to a new screen with Episodes 12 & 13! Acorn should really correct this with a note directing you to the next screen for the final two Episodes. I thought it best to start a new thread on this, so that others don't make the same mistake I did. This really is a fine series.........wonderful story, character development, actors, score,....30 years on it still holds up! Enjoy!

It's kind of funny you say in your title "don't miss episodes 12+ 13" when those were the two episodes I'd happily skip! The worst done, most rushed and yet looooong of the series.
