Thank goodness for the Netherlands
Series Six contains the following four episodes on four disks:

These episodes were originally broadcast in 2001. These episodes and Series Seven through Series Twelve have yet to be released in either the United States or England. Thank goodness we have this issue by the Netherlands. The episodes contain the original English soundtrack. The optional Nederlands subtitles can be turned off by selecting "uit" under the "Ondertitels" option on the main menu.
These disks are a Region 2 PAL version. They have not yet been released in the United States in Region 1 NTSC format. YOU MUST HAVE A REGION 2 OR REGION-FREE DVD PLAYER CAPABLE OF CONVERTING PAL SIGNAL TO NTSC TO PLAY THE DVD'S SOLD HERE.
The Indomitable Fat Man Continues
Fans of the Fat Man, you're not alone. Under Detective Superintendent Inspector Andy Dalziel's pugnacious exterior is a ferocious intelligence and working-class Yorkshire attitude. Warren Clarke is marvelous as the robust and uninhibited Dalziel. Colin Buchanan convincingly contrasts as Detective Inspector Peter Pascoe, trying to cope with balancing work and life. David Royle is wonderful as Inspector Wield. Yorkshire isn't the charming, murderous environs of Midsomer, nor rarified sphere of Inspector Morse's Oxford. No. This series features mysteries with the roughness of the rolling Yorkshire dales. To quote the Fat Man, "A man who can play the bagpipes shouldn't have trouble with this job." It's worth making it to the standout Series 7, with continuing narratives and real character development.
Even in the U.K., for some reason, you can't get these Dalziel & Pascoe Seasons without Dutch subtitles and Dutch product/story descriptions! For those of you who want more,...
Dutch import - Shortened!
It's a pity, but this Dutch Pal import has all episodes shortened by approx 10 minutes. The cutting has been done "gently", but leaves some strange ellipses.
No subtitles other than Dutch ones.
Otherwise good quality.
