FORMAT: PAL Region 2 U.K. Import] (Season Five) (DVD) Series 5 was broadcast in the UK in 2005. It was subsequently released on DVD in the UK in a Region 2 PAL version. It has not yet been released in the United States in Region 1 NTSC format. YOU MUST HAVE A REGION 2 OR REGION-FREE DVD PLAYER CAPABLE OF CONVERTING PAL SIGNAL TO NTSC TO PLAY THE UK VERSION SOLD HERE.There are six episodes in Series 5, each episode having been shown in two parts. Each episode is on its own disk. The episodes are as follows: Towers of Silence Black Run Subterraneans Straw Dog Undertow Cold Fusion This series picks up after the death of DS Mel Silver with the unit still in shock. Boyd is severely shaken by recent events and Grace and Spence must fight to hold the team together. This series has a different feel from the prior series with Boyd returning to his previous bad temper and the group dynamic seriously threatened. While not up to the quality of the previous series, it is still...

FORMAT: PAL Region 2 U.K. Import] (Season Five) (DVD) This DVD is Region 2 - UK - and does require a region-free or multi-region DVD player. This set was purchased out of necessity because I am hooked on this series! I even bought a region-free player so I could watch it. That said, I have seen this series from the beginning through dvd rentals - and with the shocking end to Season 4, I was very happy to find Season 5 available through purchase because it is not available through rental! I've also purchased Seasons 6 and 7, while 8 is due out soon.What I enjoy about the series: interesting characters and relationships, complicated plots, no simple and neat resolutions, not focused on flashy technical forensics, some dry humor thrown in. Very satisfying entertainment. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Waking the Dead: Season 5 (DVD) This season of the now cancelled tv show'waking the dead' really got under some peoples skin. It's too bad they couldn't realize what was happening; and that this was one of the bbc's best shows of the 2000-11 seasons from the entire four channel network! This gritty show really gets dark here and boyd begins to loose it over the loss of mel and frankies defection. She left and doesn't even talk to him at all. It's like his work family is going under even! The stories are excellent here as usual but like I said some fans couldn't grasp what was happening. I find the complaining about dark episodes reviews very interesting. This show was always VERY DARK! one of tv lands darkest anywhere, it's played straight and gruesome. Which is why it's one of my fave crime shows ever. The dumb bbc just blew it on cancelling this one after 9 series. THe two new actors do a fine job and of course we get to know them slowly and this is the way REAL LIFE is often. The dvd set looks... Read more |
