An update to this thread dredged from the past. I just ordered a dvd from Amazon UK of the complete series of this program.
It was just released after redoing the 35mm masters. Apparently it only lasted for 6 shows and was then cancelled as few people at the time could understand it.
There is now a wealth of infornation about the series on the internet as opposed to the absolute lack thereof 11 years ago.
