They say nothing about a missing episode, so I assume it's a complete set of ALL 26 episodes. They say it's brand new... but... but... but... yes, there is a catch... They're charging over $80 for it! 80 dollars! I think they're mad! DVDRare claim to have a 7-DVD set which is entitled CHURCHILL: THE VALIANT YEARS.

Maybe it was an oversight; I haven't asked him yet. The music (theme) is available in many places including YouTube, Amazon.com and here....http://tinyurl.com/7qj2lc9 Contact in Switzerland bought the series from MediaOutlet and says they are of decent quality although at least one episode (advertised) is missing (“The Ravens Remain”).

Alas, all are decomposed in the bottom of Mississippi Sound following Hurricane Katrina. I, too, would enjoy seeing the series on DVD as well as showing some of it to my U.S. and World History classes.

I am trying to find a copy of this music (for my wonderful Auntie) but it seems to be a rare work indeed. So bring on the re-release before my beloved auntie loses her hearing!
