Phil Silvers "Bilko" Favour

[woodelf]

If anyone has on an SGT Bilko DVD, Season 2, episode 17 "Love That Guardhouse", please would they consider making me a copy of that particular episode, even if it means a copy of that specific disc. I would be Eternally Grateful and of course, pay for it! Ta Muchly and Take Care.

Contact the Society to see if they can help you out.

Have you tried typing it in to Youtube.?

[THECORBYLOON]

I tried that and Google but no joy.

Is this it? Amazon have it

Bobbi's link (which goes to a screenshot of an Amazon UK page, rather than to the actual page itself) shows the boxed set of DVDs on offer as being for 'Region 1'. Tha means that (unless, unusually, you've got a multi-region DVD player) they can't be played outside of the USA and Canada.

This eBay seller, with a 99.2% positive feedback figure, offers a Region 2 DVD (which is what you need in the UK) for just £4.98 and with free carriage. It includes 4 episodes of Sgt Bilko, viz. "The Beast", "Love That Guardhouse", "Formula 7" and "Small Car":

Its here on youtube ...

[woodelf]

As ever always Buenchico, you come to the rescue and more especially, mine!...so, as you can imagine, I am no good at eBay, never tried it and don't know how, so please may I gratefully ask if you could buy that particular DVD you mention for me and I will, of course, repay you.

I screen shot it as went to my account Chris

[Dagman]

It is titled unde The Phil Silvers Show series2 episode17, not "Bilko" as I was using to search for.

[woodelf]

And Very Many Thanks to you Balloon, Bobbi, Dagman and Gulliver. Take Care All.

[Buenchico]

As Dagman has now provided the episode on Youtube, Woodelf, I'm unsure as to whether you still require it on DVD.

I've downloaded the Youtube file to my computer anyway, and then burned it to a DVD. It's in the post to you already. (I managed to get to the post box this evening with just two cats following me there and back this time, instead of all four of them!)

Should you still require the eBay DVD for some reason (e.g. because the disc I've burned won't work in your DVD player or simply because you'd like the additional episodes anyway), just send me an email and I'll purchase it for you.

[woodelf]

Chris, your munificence knows no bounds, I just hope you didn't get mauled by the two remaining cats which you left at home! If it's okay with you, I'll wait and listy to your copy of the show and take it from there. But, as always ever, Huge Thanks for doing this for me.

[SparklyKid]

Wow, AB at it's best.

[woodelf]

...and Man Thanks to you Dagman for finding the show on YouTube, I didn't know it would be there in the first place, so I didn't do my research properly, so Many Thanks again.

As a matter of fact I had my attention drawn to a photograph of our favourite mod which he promotes on the internet. I thought he was Master Sergeant Earnest Bilko’s doppelganger.

[woodelf]

Sure is, Sparkly!
