Does anyone else recall a police procedural series from the late 1970s
or early 1980s which was a series of separate stories from German,
Dutch and British police forces?  I may well have the nationalities
wrong.<br> <br>
I remember a fair number of animations (Magic Roundabout being the
greatest of them, but some of the Czech animations were marvellous)
from my childhood (late 1960s/early 1970s).  All were, of course,
dubbed.  I did grow up knowing that there was great television in
other languages, but I don't know how I knew.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Same
here. I remember very good movies for children back when I was a child
myself, and usually they were made in the DDR, Czechoslovakia or other
Warsaw-pact-countries. </div><div>A few years later I had the pleasure
of watching "Die Rote Kapelle" on TV, a series about spies, building a
network in Belgium. I now wonder if we then got to see the Eastern
German or the Western German version. Colditz was also great back then.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind greetings,</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>Luc Hellinckx</div></font></div></div></div><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

  What about Britain: has a continental series ever been aired?<br>  Thinking of German stuff like Derrick or Tatort for example.<br></blockquote></div></span></blockquote><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I
cannot recall BBC having any such series  but in the 1970's they had a
detective series set in Amsterdam (can't recall the name but it had a
catchy tune).</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">And of course they also made a great Maigret series but both were of British origin.</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Here
in Australia our SBS TV (Special Broadcasting Service) has presented
many European Continental series including the superb Derrick. Of
course Komissar Rex</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">after catching all the crooks in Vienna
 has moved to Rome. Great Service all round with News in many languages
and movies from around the globe.</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Even a couple of long
running Brazilian Soapies that were so bad they had a cult following
here. Politicians have tried closing the Service down in the name of</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Economic Rationalism but public pressure forced them to back down as it did with Ethnic Radio stations.</div>
