Despite this, every episode (except one) are direct remakes of episodes from the original series with similar characters.
The series has never aired outside Australia and isn't available in home media. However, fans have been able to see the series via bootlegs available on YouTube with the sole exception of Season 1, Episode 3 ("Mrs. Crawford, Senior Person") as it's currently believed to be lost.
