Plenty of crappy quality VHS rips around. Although incomplete, I've chosen the German supposed DVD rips which are definitely better. All have dual German/English audio.
Prepare yourself for no authenticity (in fact it's set in the 70's), jeans, dungarees, flared trousers, soppy unisex hairstyles, BMX bikes, cars straight off 'The Sweeney' film set & probably the worst theme music ever heard! Despite all of this it's a bit of children's TV heritage & should be watched.
Complications arise with my zero understanding of the German language & episode numbering that doesn't correspond with that listed on IMDB or below. I don't like renaming files so I'll release individually with English title explanations.
At present this series is incomplete although I'm searching!

Yee! Haw! Great find!
Uh-oh! Got to get me a bigger HDD.
Queued up for later.
btw. if there is a set of DVDs to be had (implied by the 'DVD-Rip' in the titles) a link to that would be nice as well. Might be easier to get than 8 1/2 CDs.

Oh..........I was responding to ptg's comments but he must have edited his post or the Gestapo have been at it again!

Anyway.......ptg made a very valid remark about episode numbering for identification purposes. In my enthusiasm to create a simpler & less confusing set of file names I overlooked the fact people may want easy identification of the files in chronological/transmission date order. I've edited the release, simply adding episode numbering from 01 to 26.

Are they wearing jeans/trousers in all of these ? Any Debaser-style episodes ?
Thanks

plonkah......it's all a bit naff unisex/dungarees/long hair/bmx bike sort of stuff with if I remember only one swimming costume scene. Not really db-style but a great slice of 1970's British children's TV.
kj........I've uploaded 100gb of these already so they should be well sourced. I've unshared them at the moment to concentrate on ptg's six-episode stunner but I'll reshare them all again in a couple of days. Let me know if you get stuck.

What's that supposed to mean? Kids wearing slippers?
