Does anyone Know if ITVs Freewheelers exist or not?

There use to a page on this very forum which listed surviving Freewheelers episodes which i cannot access at the moment.
From memory a ball park figure is that about 50% of the six serials survive.

I suspect that Freewheelers thread fell off the end eventually (it was quite a while ago now)!
Very briefly, all of series 1 survives courtesy of Mike Wormersley, who worked on the series. Plus one from series 2. After that, it's only series 6, 7 and 8 (all in colour) that survive (and are complete). There are some filmed inserts surviving from other early stories as well.
Series 4 onwards was made in colour, incidentally.
Hope this helps. I'd like to see a DVD release myself, particularly of the whole of series 1.

I second the thought of a series 1 DVD.

Any chance of a DVD release of series 1, Mike? It's something a lot of us would like to see!
