Just watched this again, and as always only wished for more, IE Season 2,3 etc A Brilliant work. Would this be worthy of a re-make or adjunct to the original or just lost in time and translation? I get to the end of the series, episode 13 and each time want the next episode which doesn't exist (13 episodes in total). I thought I saw the Actor Frank Gallacher (Will Price) leaving a coffee shop the other day ? Unfortunately not as the internet seems to say he passed in 2009. Thank you to all who were involved. You all made a difference. . Also commendations to Sindre Kaspersen. . Brilliant commentary. You want to decide before you watch it, read this review . Spot ON .

FINALLY it is out on DVD - all 13 episodes in a 4 DVD set at a reasonable price too. The storyline is as good as I remember. I am so glad that someone actually listened to many, many requests for this to be relaunched as a DVD!! What I cannot understand is why it has never appeared on the TV since it was run the first time. It is great to see some well known names from early in their acting careers. It is hard to believe that this series is almost 30 years old. The acting is superb and the story is timeless. Jon English has done a fantastic job with his music and his acting is excellent. I would love to see some of the other great Australian series, such as Rush, be reproduced on DVD like Against the Wind.

First I'll apologize for my poor English. I hope you can understand my writing anyway. :-)I would love to buy this series "Against the wind". I totally fell in love wide the story about how Irish and English convicts were shipped of to Australia to work in slave like condition for rich English immigrants, and not to forget the tittle song Six Ribbons song by Jon English who plays the lead role Jonathan Garrett. I really hope that the series will be available on DVD soon. I'll be the first in line to buy it for sure. So if any of you know where to get hold of this, please tell.

I did a Google search to find out if there was any hope of Against the Wind ever coming out on DVD. I found a letter from the director that gave the following information. Because this was one of the first mini-series on Australian television and well before the invention of the DVD, no contractual arrangements were made for any other format production. To bring it out on DVD, they would have to go back and contract with every person associated with the production. This is never going to happen so unless it is re-run on television, we'll never see it again. Now, if anyone has any ideas on who owns the copyright to the mini-series, perhaps fans could petition them to run it again on television. I wonder, though, if there is even an intact copy of the series in existence.
