Making this post because for some reason this show has flown completely under the radar for many. I had no idea it existed until it was mentioned on a comedian podcast I listen to (Bud Pod).
Of course, the BBC have kindly deleted it from their catalogue. Not sure of the rules here re pirated content so won’t post any links, but I found it on both Internet Archive and torrent (torrent is much better quality). It also features a young Benedict Wong, his character is so different from how we know him today!
Well worth a watch, especially if you’re a fan of Sean Lock.
I don’t think they do this just for fun, they probably lost the rights to some aspect of it.
This is the problem with copyright and especially corporations owning it. If they can’t make it reasonably available, it should resort to the public domain.
That’s a good concept but the definition of “reasonably available” would be tricky if not impossible to work out
