In the UK, the release of a programme on video is rarely something that can be guaranteed. Some programmes are released more or less as soon as each particular series has been transmitted, while other programmes are never released at all.

If you are looking for videotapes of a particular programme, the first place to ask is at a local video stockist. Many of them, particularly large national outlets, can tell you if a particular programme is available.

Next, visit one of the websites which specialise in selling video tapes online.

For UK (PAL/VHS format) releases, try:

• BlackStar UK
• Amazon UK
• Acorn Media
• Film Vault Search Service

For US (NTSC format) releases, try:

• UK Stuff 2000
• BBC America Videos
• Amazon.com
• Acorn Media
• Critics' Choice Video
• Brits USA

If you find that the programme you're looking for is not currently available as a commercial video release, try posting a request to one or both of the following newsgroups:

• rec.arts.uk.tv.comedy
• alt.comedy.british

At the end of the day, you may have to accept that video tapes of a particular programme cannot be obtained by any means. This is particularly true of older British television comedy programmes.
