Rassilon's rating
This was a wonderful tongue & cheek show which ended in the USA after only Nine of the Twelve Episodes were aired. I never missed an episode. I learned later that Austrailia was luckier and aired the entire season. And after all these years would still like to see the episodes I missed.
I can only wonder why after this years "Mr & Mrs Smith" movie with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie which was based partly on this series, Why Warner has not attempted to market this series, especially with the recent success and marketability of both it's stars, Maria Bello and Scott Bakula.
I would love to see a High Quality DVD set of this series in my own Collection. For fans of this series I recommend a search of the internet, as there are a number of sites still devoted to this series.

I have to agree that "Oliver's Travels" was one of the most enjoyable and cleaver mysteries I have seen on my PBS channel, I only regret two things. One that here in American we saw a cut down version of the series with several scenes deleted for time. And Second NO ONE HAS THOUGHT TO PUT THIS WONDERFUL SERIES OUT IN FULL ON VIDEO TAPE, EITHER HERE OR IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. I have a taped copy of the series and I have to admit my family has played it so often, that it is starting to wear out. For those who enjoyed this series, there is at least an Audio tape of the Alan Bates reading the story. Which also includes the often referred to but never told joke of "The Horse that like to sit on eggs" that Bates speaks about in the series. The tape "Oliver's Travels" is produced by Hodder Headline Audio Books, London ISBN # 1-85998-045-7
