Hi to everyone!

I am a big fan of Riptide (with Ty Hardin), the german title was "SOS Charterboot"!
I loved this episodes so much, that I wanted to move over to Australia at the age of ~10.
It was never aired in Germany again since the early 70s and it will be never aired again as I have read in a german TV forum.
So I was very surprised, as I did find some months ago all 28 episodes (german syncronised, without station logo) on "u-tube".
I had the feeling, that it cannot go good for a longer time and I downlo.ded 21 episodes over the week-end, each episode took 1,5 hours!!!!
The quality is of course "u-tube-typical" lousy but not too
bad to watch - and better than nothing after 40 years worth to watch again!
Anybody knows a source of clean videos, which I can
synchronise with the german sound?
Just after a few weeks from the date of installation they all dissappeared from "U-tube".
Anybody knows a good free source? Maybe these episodes were aired in Australia time by time again?!
I should love to watch them again on my old sets, just on the aussie sets!

Thanks in advance,

MonsieurTelevision

No doubt you have already found this. But just in case you haven't, here is a link to Don Storeys Classic Australian TV site.

Riptide has been shown in fairly recent times here on the 7network - which by the way was involved in its production.
