I don't know if they stream it anywhere in Germany, but I have the DVD-set, and if I wanted to, I could buy a Blue-Ray set on Ebay.

Good one Wolfgang.

I have a DVD, but have discovered that the quality is poor, and no match for the German-created Koch set of about 10 years ago ... I am looking at the DVD or Blue-Ray myself. Have to make sure I can play it here, there are different versions around with different region codes ...

Several years ago I saw some of the FF dvds in a local shop, but had no spare cash, and also I already had a number of them on video, but couldn't remember which ones, so didn't want to end up with duplicates.

Now I don't have a working video player, so can't watch any of them. Although dvds wouldn't be much good at the moment either as the remote control for the dvd player has stopped working too. :(

I checked the DVD-set and it seems there's no region code printed on it - I suppose it means it's region free. English Dubbing is on the DVDs too, but then you can't switch off the subtitles.
I seem to recall that a set for the English market was also published - maybe you can get such a set.
