Sorry to say there aren't any ... at least none that are officially sanctioned. The show originated in Britain on Chanel 4, with PBS as a minority partner, and neither one saw fit to extend the franchise by making tapes ( how time flies!) available. However, some fans have mentioned taping it while it was running - and it's probably STILL running somewhere in the midst of night. So my guess is that there are copies out there. Might try craig's list or even e-bay... this might come under the general heading of pirated albums. Of course you may have already tried that...in which case I guess I'm no help at all. But you are not the first to make this request and if it keeps up I may get brave and start selling DVD's myself. If I do I'll be advertising it here and in the meantime I hope you'll keep visiting for the garden's latest adventures. Hi Grace,

Knowing that too-late draweth near, I'll resume the search asap... process rather makes my eyes glaze over but it's not cold; I bring the boxes into the living room and rifle through by the cozy fireside. At this rate, the damn thing is going to be your Christmas present, delivered on 12/24. But at least that way you'll have it for next year and so will the rest of us.

Not that I blame you. If I had to rummage through boxes of newspapers in a cold barn at this time of year, I would drag my feet too! Maybe next year? Any chance of that fruitcake recipe?
