Tried BBC - they said not for release at present as they use it for educational establishments. Ba Humbug.

This was one of my favourite natural history programmes. I first caught it earlier in this year (when it was repeated incessantly)but it was made in 1998 as one of the beeb's first digital forays.

So much for educational establishments! Ask if your local library will order it in. They got a £70 book in for me a few years ago after some committee decided it was ok. For £16 plus postage it's a bargain! If you have a monthly mailorder rental with Amazon or Blockbuster you might be able to rent it for a month for eight quid.
I also agree that they will show it all again on UKtv in the next year, giving you a chance to record it.
The link to the programme

might let you keep an eye on it.
Good Luck

I have all but one episode of this fascinating series that I recorded from UK TV History on VHS. The recording was made more than a year ago but there is a good chance that they will repeat the series at some time in the future. They repeat just about everything else.

Have you tried to see if your local library has a copy you could borrow?
