I was so bored by American TV that I ordered a code free DVD player and just bought the complete 'Spooks' TV series from Amazon.UK - also called 'MI-5' shown cut to shreds on PBS once a week. The series ROCKS!!!!! I have several more UK series on deck that I will be ordering as well.

(I ordered a code free dvd player AND the complete series from the UK AND still had over $75 savings over buying the series repackaged as MI-5 from Amazon.US!!!)

I've owned one since 2002. It's the only kind of DVD player to own, since it opens the door to a huge amount of movies and tv series that are never released here, or if they are, are badly cut. It is important to get a player that also does a good job of converting from the PAL broadcast standard to NTSC, since most of the world broadcasts some variety of the PAL standard.

Ordering from Amazon UK is just as easy as ordering from any other Amazon outlet. I've also ordered from a Hong Kong source for years without a single wrong order. Usually overseas orders take about 10-14 days, but I once ordered a series from Singapore on Sunday and had it in my hands on Wednesday.

Do you have a make and model of a code free DVD and/or Blu-Ray player? I would love to get my hands on one.

I’ve been wanting to get several series from the UK for years.

By the Sword Divided (English Civil War series from the 80’s)
The entire Richard Sharpe series
Lost In Austen*

* OK, it’s Jane Austen, but it’s Jane Austen with inter-dimensional time travel!!!
