@dvscorp Just looked it up...apparently the ABC have said it won't be released, as it was produced on a "broadcast-only" basis or something along those lines...bootlegs anyone?
-
The National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra has the entire series on file (a quick search on their website brings it up) but you can only view it at the archive, they won't copy it for you unless you can prove you or a family member were directly involved in its production as an actor or whatever (my uncle was 'best boy' or 'key grip' maybe?;) So might have to go for a drive to Canberra and sit and watch it all day at the archive.

@GitarStu Nah VHS had been around and heavily in use well before 1984 which when Sweet and Sour started. So access to VHS wasn't the issue.

I reckon if the ABC did air the show again - it would have a cult following. Well me for sure! My kids would laugh at me.

The Soundtrack is available in ABC shops but there was a curt statement released in response to a review which asked about a DV from teh ABC restating that "Unfortunately this program will not be released on DVD." .. *shakes head*
Still given the royalties .. don't reckon there'd be much cash to be made out of a release I suppose. Sad but the way of things I guess ..

Beats me how nobody in Australia has posted any of the original series on you tube yet. Someone, somewhere must have it on video-cassette! C'mon Australia!

The show came out before VHS was really popular (and affordable). So if people taped it, it would have been on beta. And I doubt many people would have kept their beta tapes for 15 years until capture devices were cheap enough :)
I wish the ABC would just re-air it again. Maybe we should start a petition! :)
