Der Alte (a.k.a. The Old Fox)
On Saturday, I was browsing DVD's in the local library. Suddenly I remembered 'Der Alte' (a.k.a. The Old Fox). This is a TV serial I used to watch on TV when I was a young kid. It is originally produced in german, but it was dubbed in english. I don't understand german anyway ;) It's about a german detective Herr Koster played brilliantly by Siegfried Lowitz. I still remember the story about a person who used to poison his victims giving them chocolates.
I tried to locate Video cassettes and DVD's in the libray and local bookstores, but could not find anything. I also searched eBay. I did find 2 DVD's but they were in german.
If any of you have 'Der Alte' in English, please let me know. I will be very happy to buy the copies from you. Even if you don't have the DVD's, but remember watching the TV serial, do let me know. It will be really nostalgic that we still remember about Herr Koster after all these years.

Hey, I remember watching Old
Hey, I remember watching Old Fox too with my parents. Was a kid back then, but I still liked it and am dying to get my hands on at least one episodes, if nothing else just as a nostalgic relic. Stumbled upon your site while on my quest and I'll get back to you if I do manage to get my hands on an English release of the same.Cheers!!!
The Old Fox - Superbly Nostalgic Black and White TV
Hi Uday,
I came onto your site in my purchase quest for 'The Old Fox'. A very close friend of mine asked me if I remembered the memorable BW DD days, with the non-descript grand-fatherly Herr Koster staring out of the telly box, making conclusions in his mind (in german)and keeping us mildly glued to the outcome(in subtitled english) - the outcome, which usually had a real bang attached to it!
Well I shared the same memories and felt the disappointment each time the serial ended at 10.30 or 11.oo at night. Which led me to look for the DVD / CD to add to my collection of memories.
No luck yet, but the net always symbolizes hope - among other things, so the search will only end when it does.
Thanks for inviting memories onto your blog.
Live Happy.

Der Alte is good.
I remember 'Der Alte' and I liked it very much. It was telecast on TV every Friday in germany.
