i am doing some research and need to find copies of both versions of the secret adversary - the BBC adaptation of the 70's and the original german film. The first can be bought - but at a very high price - and the second i have no idea of where to get hold of. Does anybody now if a.c inc is planning on rereleasing this series on dvd, in the near future, and does anybody know where i could hire or rent copies.

The title of the film is "Die Abenteuer GmbH", but I have never seen a copy of it for sale.  There is part of it on you tube, but I don't know if it's the whole film.

For the film with Francesca Annis and James Warwick this was made by London Weekend Television and not BBC and was made in the 80's.  I was lucky a few years ago to find the full set (Secret Adversary and Partners in Crime) on DVD at a normal price.  The VHS is now for sale on amazon.uk for £24.
