Question -
i am trying to find out if there will be a new series/repeats of this prog.i would like to watch it from the begining if possible.
Answer -
Hi Russoreilly,
Currently the sixth season of The Tribe is being written after Cloud 9 (the company who makes it) moved to Australia recently. There isn't a lot of news about it at the moment.
I can't tell you about any repeats since I don't know which country you live in.
However if you have a DVD player that plays region 2 DVDs or is a multi region DVD player then Series 1 is already out on DVD with plans for the rest of the series to follow.
Hope this helps,
Sophie Jaques

Answer
The last series shown in the UK was Series 5, but Channel 5 has since decided that they don't want to show the Tribe any more(they gave a stupid excuse such as it didn't fit in with the targeted age group I think), and they helped fund filming the Tribe. They have since shown interest in showing the Tribe again but news is practically non-existent on that front.
Also having emailed Five and read other repsonses from other people who have emailed them I don't think they will show repeats anytime soon sadly-of course you're free to try emailing them youself- customerservices@five.tv .
Other than that it looks like Tribe fans are going to have to wait for the release of DVDs.
