ds_noticeboardHi, I'm looking for fellow Italian Due South fans.
To commiserate, if nothing else. :D
You see, me and my brother used to watch the show together and I thought of purchasing the DVD's as a gift for him but can you believe there isn't an edition of the Italian dubbed version available on DVD, only a VHS one?
As for myself, I'd have no problem doing a rewatch in the original English (in fact, I may just do it, one of these days) but I can't very well re-watch it with my brother that way!
And I don't have a VHS recorder any more so that's out of the question. Anyway, I kind of hate the concept of having to resort again to VHS's, you know? I thought that period of my life was over. :D
It's just so frustrating! I mean, for once in my life that I was prepared to fork over some actual money instead of resorting to somewhat less legit ways... *shakes head*
Talking about less legit ways, technically there are some digital files going around the Internet of the Italian edition, only they're obviously converted from VHS and the audio is terrible. Plus, they're kind of hard to find, maybe because the series is so old.
Sigh, all this makes me kind of feel like me are my brother and the only ones left still enjoying that show here in Italy. Even if, logically, I know there have to be several fellow Italian fans around. If nothing else, I'm sure Italian tv didn't do all those re-runs for nothing LOL. Which is why I'm making this post (as per![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ride_4ever's kind suggestion over at sholio's Ray Vecchio Squee Party) .
So... is anyone here in the same boat as me? ;)
Also, mods, I hope I tagged this post correctly!

Ah, scusami, non avevo capito, vuoi dire che hai gli episodi salvati su dvd! *facepalm* Chissà perché avevo capito che non potevi salvarli dal computer perché non aveva il lettore dvd...
Mmm, in questo caso magari potresti provare a usare i terminali di una biblioteca o roba del genere? In fondo basta che abbiano un lettore dvd e una presa usb per il tuo hard-disk per fare una copia, non serve che abbiano anche un masterizzatore, no?
/Io non li ho mai visti (neanche in inglese, mi metteva troppo pensiero l'idea dell'episodio finale e non ho avuto il coraggio di terminare la serie per questo)./ - Oh, davvero? Io non posso resistere, sono che una dà la caccia perfino agli spoiler, ma ho un'amica esattamente come te, se è davvero appassionata di una serie si lascia sempre l'ultimo episodio/volume da parte.
/E non me la sento di riscaricarli, significherebbe dover riinstallare emule, cercarli, sperare che abbiano fonti... no./ - A chi lo dici, per quanto amo la serie non ne vale la pena che comporterebbe...
/Ti avverto che non sono molto attiva nel fandom, per lo più faccio la lurker, salvo per occasionali exchanges e big bangs./ - Eheh, non c'è niente di male nel fare la lurker. :D Anch'io spesso aggiorno il mio journal solo quando ho qualche nuovo fanwork da postare, il che vuol dire che possono passare mesi tra un post e l'altro, anche se controllo frequentemente la mia friendlist e sono sempre pronta a lasciare un commento. ;)
