Yes they all exist.
No plans/announcements as yet for a DVD release in UK or US. Rights probably held by Fox (who financed Hammer to make it in the first place).
Last UK repeats in late 1980s, regionally, late night on ITV. Compilation films may have turned up on satellite/digital more recently.

Those DVDs on ebay are ILLEGAL. Don't buy them - you're just supporting pirates.

..Thanks For that Nosmo..just Found a set Of Episodes on E Bay..Average quality 6/10..some Episodes..8/10..others. Quality on some of these sets on sale leaves a lot to be desired I bought a set several years ago and that was just about watchable but until it is released officially where else can you get a copy ? Dont really support piracy as such especially of available titles.If it gets a release I would buy it but until then I will have to watch awful unofficial copies.

There was a time in the first half of the '80s when this series was aired locally in a lot of ITV regions in haphazard graveyard slots. I recall some of the episodes being amongst my earliest swaps! I kept a couple of the better quality recordings but the rest were nth generation and so they went. Someone out there must have off-airs of the whole run. I'd like to see it out on DVD but it was an uneven series quality-wise. Some good stuff in there though.

Most Anthology Series Have good & Bad..even Hammer House Of Horror Had a Couple Of Dodgy episodes.."Growing Pains" Being One That Springs To Mind.....Maybe An Official DVD Release Is"nt Far Away...as Most classic shows seem To Come Out Sooner Or Later.

At the time "poor butterfly" was generally regarded as the weakest , but today (like old wine) it might developed an appealing style of its own?

...I Think Your Right..I Recently Bought The " Strange Report" box Set..a show I Thought was Really Dull And Boring at The Time..Compared To Say The Saint & Dept S..but viewing It now..it"s not half as Bad..If Only as A Great Time Capsule Of London ..The Location filming Is A Refreshing Change For ITC..instead of The Awfull Back Projection..Pity The Main character Is a Bit Dull..Adam strange?..more Like Adam Normal.
