Blake's 7? Nope. The Young Ones? Nope. Oh well.

  This is a pretty good reason: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/faqs#why-are-there-missing-listings-and-what-are-you-doing-about-it https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/faqs#why-are-there-missing-listi... Much of the input is scraped via scanning and OCR from physical copies of a magazine that is decades old. I did find one episode of Blakes 7 listed: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/98edb93a0b8d4797a7b6892c25c30e00 https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/98edb93a0b8d4797a7b6892c25c30e00

  The Young Ones inveigled its way into my psyche growing up and I'm sure I'd be a different person if I hadn't watched and rewatched it. Incredibly of-its-time-UK 80s now, but wild nonetheless. There's a low-quality VHS rip on the 'net somewhere of the frantic production process of the show which is both slightly enchantment-breaking and fascinating. They did so many takes of the circular-saw-through-the-bed gag due to technical issues! Without the laugh track production all sounds rather stressful for everyone, but also shows how much in-house BBC known-how was involved in the production.
