Anyone remember this Australian mini-series from 1988? Anyone know where I can find a copy? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095297/ The Heroes (1988) starring Jason Donovan, Cameron Daddo, Bill Kerr, David Wenham, This Australian-British co-production was based on the historical novel by Ronald McKie. In the last months of WWII, a group of 14 intrepid British and Aussie soldiers combined forces for a daring and dangerous mission. "Operation Jaywick" was designed to cripple the Japanese naval fleet in Singapore harbor. With only a few rickety wooden boats, a handful of weapons, and a surplus of guts at their disposal, the title characters set about to complete their mission and return home in one piece.

Hi,

Newbie here from the US, who happened upon this site via this thread asking about The Heroes oddly enough through a Google search about something else.

But more on that in a minute. First....

I am a fan of footy, though were I live I can't get the games. I used to have a friend record them for me from Fox Sports Canada, but I found myself not as motivated watching them months after the fact.

I listed Sydney Swans as a favorite, though I'll watch any game. There's a local team called the New York Magpies who I go to see on occasion. That's the closest I get to a live game.

As for The Heroes....

I have this movie. It's very good. It was only released on VHS in the UK, I think.

If you're interested in more info, PM me.
