Availability
It is unknown how this series went missing, as since the wiping phase the BBC has worked hard to keep every part of their archive intact. It would've most likely simply fell into obscurity and went missing from there.
The show was not put on any home media nor has it been officially released online. However, a few episodes of the show can be found online.
On July 27, 2024, the original master copy of the episode "Street - Cars", complete with a broadcast slate at the beginning, was uploaded to YouTube by user NotSoAbsorbent.
The episode was later removed from YouTube on 14th August, 2024, following a cease and desist that NotSoAbsorbent had received from the BBC. This rendered the same episode lost once again.
