Heimat

For the past few weeks I've been enjoying Heimat, an epic of German television portraying the changing times of German throughout the 20th Century. However I only caught all of Heimat 3; the most recent series, which fortunately was well publicised. Heimats 1 and 2 I almost entirely missed, and according to the BBC Four website they have no plans to repeat them due to cost grounds! I am quite disappointed by this, but at the same time I'm not sure if I want to fork out £50 for each series on DVD.

Come on BBC! Let's have another chance to see this marvel of television.
