ArtistsRifles Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I remember that one. It was quite good, especially once the characters lost the"wooden"aspect. http://epguides.com/DangerUXB/guide.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 I m sorry if I dropped the ball , I was relating that the series existed , I had seen it in the seventies when it ran here on PBS Public Broadcast Service TV. . I had purchased it a year or two ago on DVD 4 disc set 10 hours 50 minutes. And wondered if others had seen that series or had other mini series to chat about . I can recall another that was set in northern Australia ? about a town occupied by the Japanese ? can't recall the series name . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
