The girl from U.N.C.L.E.

 Strange DVD sales

Quick DVD sales

Some of the DVDs I am selling on eBay go as soon as I put them for sale, which is in some cases surprises me. I am not surprised Space 1999 sold quick, Gerry Anderson's works do well.

What did surprise me is The girl from U.N.C.L.E. has sold. This show ran for two season, and was not well recieved, that could be why it sold, it is a rare selection. 

Part of the reason it didn't do well is it was a cross between The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Get Smart, both popular series in the late 70's. Another reason, probably the main reason, is the man they chose to partner Stefanie Powers is Noel Harrison, who got the role as he is the son of Rex Harrison.

Recently, they tried to re-vamp the idea with a seris from Australia called Ms Fisher's Modern Mysteries, again the series failed. The original Ms Fisher's Mysteries, set in the 1920's was an international hit.
