I definitely watched this. I inhaled everything that Channel 4 offered. So new and fresh - my parents hated.

Interesting that some of these early channel 4 shows don’t exist or c4 doesn’t know where they are and who owns the copyright. Mightbe a rare gem

CuriousBritishTelly2 years ago

I think some production company has all of these.
