Hi MichaelaA73573
Yep, I remember Shelley but when that first went out I was scared of Hywell Bennet. Not sure why but I found him scary. I guess as a 10 yr old I didn't really get the humour (or the creepy theme tune!!)
I remember The Return Of Shelley in the late 80's and my fear had disappeared by then!!!
Saw many of them on UKGold a while back and absoltuely loved it.
I did a check and the first 3 series were released on DVD last year.
It looks like a box set of all 10 series could be a future release!! 
I'm alway floating around so will catch you soon!

Hi Highlander69, thanks for your reply, and i'm so glad that i'm not the only one old enough to remember Hazel, i thought it was great and had to work hard to stay up to watch it, along with shelley, played by Hywell Bennet, i loved that one too.
Plz keep in touch Highlander, it seems we have a lot in common with our younger memories

Hello MichaelaA73573
A few months ago I borrowed the DVD of Hazell series 1 from the library and absolutely loved it...again bringing back memories of my 'forgotten' youth. (I was 9 when that originally went out in 1978).
Nicholas Ball is great in the role and, like Shoestring, only ran to 2 series!!
I heard the Nicholas wanted the next series to be 'filmed' rather than 'videod' in a similar way to how Minder was made and there was some argument about this. Also, I think Venebales was never too keen on such a young actor playing the part.
It would be the perfect series for Alibi to run..I'd never thought of it!!
Series 2 has never been released on DVD so far (as far as I know).
