    I hope you mean purchase legally.. and you are not requesting links to copyrighted content which is against our charter.

    You can buy it on Region 1 DVD (not Region 2).. but I bought it about 3 - 4 years back for €40 off CDWOW. Worth every penny!

    A fabulously fantastic television show.

    They all appear to be on Youtube. A couple of the parts have no sound but that's out off a lot of parts.

    Anyone know a good place to buy the boxset online that's within the EU? Amazon.com have it for a good price but most likely I'll get screwed for duty and VAT... CD WOW is down at the moment and I can't remember if they ship from within the EU or China. One of my favourite shows ever, I can't believe that it never got a second season :(

    It was never released in the EU :(

    I have it from the US, you will prob have to buy it online. Music rights was one of the major issues for the US release.

    Best show ever. :D

    My favourite commentary is for Looks and Books when they are talking about the scene where Sam is dancing in the mirror in the disco jumpsuit. Apatow (I think) describes how Daly came to him and advance and asked if he needed to dance badly as he is an accomplished, trained dancer and would need to ham it up if they wanted him to look bad. The other actors find this hysterical and Daly has no memory of this and was so embarrassed by his 12 year old self showing off. It's really funny.:D

    Yeah I know :( Was hoping to find somewhere importing it, but I guess it's hard to come by over here! €32 isn't too bad... although I'd love to get the Yearbook version if I could get my hands on it!

    Spot on tbh.

    I got Bill too - have no idea how to add the pic though. Bill is awesome and I fully expected to get Bill or Ken. The description of Bill is spot on though.

    I got Lindsey too, was hoping for Nick. Guess I didn't smoke enough pot or fail enough classes. Doh!
