Does anyone this documentary that bbc 4 did on books ? it was three part series I think they did

Hi

I just noticed the first 2 series of Blake's 7 (plus some extras) are available in the UK on Amazon Prime. Before I commit to rewatchimg with the children (I no longer have a player for all my VHS copies) I wondered if anyone knew what the outlook for seasons 3 and 4 becoming available.

Thanks!

Edit: just seen season 3 is on preorder for blurayso assuming it'll be added to streaming too and that they are working through them.

The post with the guy in the yellow mac got me remembering being scared sh*tless by tv shows as a kid. What was this one:

Set in the Scottish isles ? A spaceship washes ashore There’s was an “alien” in it but it’s empty now The alien is roaming the island. Turns out it was a Russian submarine? The pilot was connected via some kind sort of brain interface?

So many fever dream references….

Clues welcome!!! I think it was a mini series and not a single episode in something like tales of the unexpected.

Rock Profile is a British television comedy show written by and starring comedy partnership Matt Lucas and David Walliams, both later widely known for the sketch show Little Britain. Rock Profile first appeared on the channel UK Play in 1999, directed by Michael Cumming, before moving to BBC Two in 2000.

The show comprises a series of spoof interviews, involving Jamie Theakston questioning Lucas and Walliams who play famous musicians. The interviews are often bizarre and involve broad, unflattering caricatures or fictional characteristics. They are often interspersed with videos by the featured artist, including humorous captions and congratulations from other impersonated celebrities.

A third series of six short episodes, each show in two parts, was uploaded to the Funny or Die website in 2009, with all episodes presented by Dermot O'Leary (except the last one which was presented by Miquita Oliver) and directed by Geoff Posner. While a couple of these are still on their YouTube channel, the rest are lost (even Posner doesn't have copies), so it would be good to see them all again and get a complete set.

Which was your favourite long-running advertising campaign with a mascot or storyline.?

I can remember it vividly and so can my sister so I know for sure it existed

The general idea was when students misbehaved at school they got sent to a strict (school or other?!?!) place abroad. I think it was a lady with dark red hair that sent them there.

I remember 2 episodes vividly which might help

One episode had two girls sent to a cold country, I can’t remember what apart from the fact they woke up early to shovel snow and they cleaned classrooms after schools
Another episode had a boy being sent to a military boot camp, I can’t remember much more about that episode than that.

I’ve looked everywhere on Google and I wondered if anyone remembers it:)
