Brilliant series . Watched this in Ireland and remember crying with laughter at Richardson in the role of the Scottish heidcase . Was looking for this a while back but could never find it . Great to hear it's now available .
Available on DVD from Amazon and Play for under £10. Contains all 6 episodes, average running time is 51 minutes per episode and a 15 minute making of documentary.
Superb stuff and I'd totally forgotten that Richardson plays 3 different characters in this - the incompetent Nazi, an English gentleman and a Scottish heidcase (which accoring to his wife was his favourite role).
It's 5 hours of superb entertainment that they just don't make anymore.
a few months back, there were several clips of Schulz here, but there's only "Kidnapping the British" now. Is this because the Beeb are launching the dvd mentioned below?
Exemplary production. What have we got now? Strictly Come Dancing and Hotel Babylon!
Yep, Ian Richardson, great actor, especially in dark comedies like this one. Very sad to hear of his passing last year.
If you have Netflix, check out "House of Cards", available as a VOD stream. Richardson's Francis Urquat makes Richardson' Major Neuheim look like a wimp!
And will someone please do a Private Schulz DVD before I have to do something nasty?
One of my favorite miniseries ever. Hilarious! Thanks for this little clip but it just whets my appetite for the whole thing. Why isn't this brilliant show on DVD?
Oh man, I've been looking for this series for years. It's a brilliant 7 parter. I used to have the last episode, post war, on tape but it disappeared somewhere. Now I have nothing. So sad. No bittorrent, no DVD, no VHS. What happened??

Well.. Four parts, Ian Richardson appeared briefly at the end as the waiter on the ferry.
Got my DVD set off Amazon, as you say only a tenner, outstanding value.

I got a copy on ebay too, not brilliant quality but ok, I wish the BBC would reissue the series.
Great line- "Don't stop, the SS will pay for the damage"

Michael Elphick R.I.P. He was the greatest actor ever as far as I am concerned.
