First Series (initially shown on HTV and Tyne Tees)

Second Series (initially shown on HTV)

The series has been released in the Netherlands as a region 2 dvd boxset. Despite the covers and menus being in Dutch it contains the original English language soundtrack. Also despite it being labelled as complete it does not contain Five Go to Smuggler's Top.

The series has been more recently released in Australia as More Adventures Of The Famous Five. Unlike the Dutch release it is complete. As a bonus the boxset contains the Children's Film Foundation serial Five Have A Mystery To Solve.

Despite it being a British programme there has only been one DVD release in the UK which is Five On Treasure Island. This was released in 2004.
