Dream Team

This series is terrific stuff. I've been watching it since it started and have been hooked since the first episode. The series follows a made-up Midlands football team called Harchester United, it shows drama on and off the pitch. There are lovable good guys and villainous baddies.There is great acting and a wonderful script with enough twists and turns to fill at least 5 Hitchcock movies. There are loads of great actors which have since starred in other network TV programmes (Ramon Tikaram-ITV's 'Daylight Robbery'). If you have sky 1, tune in when it's next on, whoever you are, you'll be hooked.

So what's with Hewland Intl not grasping the capitalist concept of DVD releases? Boatloads of US fans of the show are dying to see the rest of the series (FSC only aired 3 of them, torture!) and DVD seems to be a total money-maker for Hewland if only they'd agree to do it! I've emailed them and they don't get it. "Why would fans want a DVD, just watch the show." Um, because it's not being broadcast anymore you morons! Good grief, I've never encountered a TV producer who didn't want to make money.

Anyone else encounter this with Dream Team/Hewland?

I've found a guy online who sells what appears to be bootlegs and he says he has region 1 coded DVDs with menus and all. But I'm squeamish about spending $50 US for something that in this day and age could land me in jail. (do I have my 10 minimum lines yet?)

This is like the coolest soccer-series ever. About the soccer team Harchester United and all the things which are happening inside and outside the club. A MusT SEE !!!

A fun sporting drama based around the careers and lives of players and staff of a (made-up) premiership football team from Harchester. Funny enough, it's more legitimate than it probably thinks when highlighting players attitudes, self-absorbed and greedy being specialties. The show is quite compelling, and the way it alternates between football and everyday soap-like drama is fetching, especially when focusing on the difficulties between juggling family lives with that of dealing with executives, agents, and coaches. The games themselves are as if you are watching legitimate games on Sky Sports or ITV; in the case of the Champions League, the presenters conduct themselves perfectly, and the game prep is on key with everyday stadia. Brilliant, just brilliant.

I'd just like to comment on the absolutely fantastic series called 'Dream Team' on Sky 1. The show has just finished its second series and it is still going well. I have just finished watching the second series finale and I must say that it was an absolutely fantastic episode. Harchester United played Manchester United in the FA Cup Final. Harchester beat Man U 2-1 and the hero of the day was 'Luis Amor Rodriguez'. But, who got shot???
