Brilliant.What a fantastic find.My husband has been trying to find this eversince it was aired.He wrote to Kevin and got a reply,signed photos of him as Sam and this series.
@@jowhitehouse340 I’ve been trying to find this for years too as watched it back then & found it a few months back on a collectors list & couldn’t believe it, I was messaging the guy who played Ben & sent him the episodes he was really pleased
Wow! I haven't seen this since the 70s. Been looking for it for years and assumed they had all been wiped but its great to see them. I still have the books of the series but this is even better.
@@daviddwyer5568 hi there Yes I watched it when shown on tv in the 70s too & looked for years until I found a collector with most of the episodes a few months back the missing 2 episodes unfortunately are lost
@@leedsguy41 Well done for finding these anyway and thanks for sharing them. When Kenneth Cope died recently this is what I thought of first (probably not what most people remembered him for, but that's just me) It wouldn't surprise me if the 2 missing episodes are still out there somewhere so you never know. All the best,
Thanks for the upload, I remember this as a kid. Did you know that Kevin Moreton who played Ben Dyker was also Nobody (in Nobody's House) and a young Sam (in Sam which was a daytime drama, that I remember). I was going to write that his dad in real life was one of the leaders in our Boy's Brigade, but looked on imdb and that was the other boy in Nobody's House. Sorry for the useless information!!!
Hi Yes I know Kevin moreton was in Sam I actually sent him these DVDs as I was in contact with him & enjoyed seeing himself in that series which I’ve been looking for years for & watched it myself as a kid
Hi mate You would have watched it as a kid like myself & never forgot about it & always wanted to see it again & like yourself been looking for years & ask a big collector about 5 years ago who did not have it but I just checked his website recently & was shocked to see it listed so we exchanged emails & he sent me a disk in the post, I am in touch with the actor who played Ben who couldn’t thank me enough for finding it, unfortunately 2 of the episodes looks like been lost
The actor who plays Ben (kevin sargent)was a well known child actor. I think he appeared in coronation street as a young hooligan terrorizing ken barlow. Also he was in the film version of All creatures great and small(or its sequel "It shouldn't happen to a vet") I know this cos I've watched both those films in the last week. I'm sure he was in another 70's series set in 1930's or similar. Don't recall him in anything as an adult though, I don't know if he died tragically young. He certainly was a talented young actor.
This is great. I’ve spent the last 20 years looking for this. Finally got me mate who works for the BBC to download a small part of one episode. Can you put the rest up?!!
@@marcogazza3222 I’ve uploaded all the episodes that exist, i was looking for this for many years & fortunately I recently found a collector with them so happy days
@@user-Flyer66 hi dave I watched striker when it was broadcast in the 70s & always wanted it on dvd & was searching with no luck for many years & a huge collector finally found it & that was only a couple of month back, as for trainer I did have some episodes on vhs video but found a collector with the full set on dvd it’s a brilliant programme
Hi,@leedsguy41 Hi, I'm hoping you might be able to help me again. I've been searching for early 1980s episode of Play for tomorrow, entitled PUNTERS. It featued a very young Sean Bean, who played the part of Lurch. Another series I would love to watch again is THE BOY WHO WON THE POOLS, from the early 80s. To me, the only chance I've got for unearthing the Two series I've just mentioned is that someone out there has old video copies. I would truly appreciate any help you can provide. Many thanks Dave
@@user-Flyer66 oldtimetv.net Hi mate Try looking on the website above its amazing he as a great collection & a really nice guy, I actually ask him some years ago about striker but he didn’t have it at the time & I just kept checking & I could not believe he had most of the series , the 2 missing unfortunately are lost . Good luck you can google his website Cheers Phil
I’ve been looking for this for many years having watched it back in the day until I recently found a collector with it, unfortunately there is 2 episodes missing which are probably lost sadly, I am actually in contact with the actor who played Ben who was over the moon when I found it

Loved this. More?
All the available episodes I’ve uploaded unfortunately 2 of the episodes was lost that’s the information I’ve been told
@leedsguy41 thanks for the upload, that's a pity about the deleted episodes
I'm guessing you don't have the complete series?
