Akshay - that's what I used to hope before I looked into it further! Unfortunately, a production shot on film is no guarantee of distribution prints, especially from about the mid-80s onwards. An expert who worked in TV advised me on the 16mm Forum that in the case of US productions shot on 35mm there would sometimes be ONE 35mm print struck for telecine transfer. But even if you collect 35mm and you somehow got hold of one of these, it wouldn't be much use as it would be silent and wouldn't have the titles! Very occasionally, something in this line has been known to come up on eBay. E.g. I recall a 16mm silent print of 'Last of the Summer Wine' being offered some years ago, probably from the 1990s. But the chances of finding a sound print from that era would almost certainly be nil. [ March 12, 2012, 08:06 AM: Message edited by: Adrian Winchester ]

Hi,
as for the "Adventures of Tintin": at least "Tim und Struppi im Sonnentempel" ("Tintin and the Temple of the Sun") is available in German in 3x80m: http://www.super-8-hobby.de/rezent176.htm Okay, it isn't a part of the TV-series as it was originally a cinema-release, but I've seen some more "Tintin"-films from French, Belgian, Italian and Spanish sources.
Other TV-series that made it onto Super8-film are "UFO" ( http://www.ufo-tv-serie.de/ufofanartikel/dvdvideo/index.php ), "Goldorak" and "Jason King": http://www.super-8-hobby.de/rezent622.htm http://www.super-8-hobby.de/rezent621.htm
