the show with Neil Pearson is called Between the lines,you can get all 3 series on DVD(play.com etc)...like a fine wine both these critically acclaimed shows have got better with age...its a Shame Spender never got an official release....although i still have the original recordings from when it first aired Ebay always have a few copes around,just don't pay too much for them,as they cost fook all to copy!!

All the spender cars had genuine number plates,IIRC the 4wd from the second series had a private plate put on it some years later and the 2wd was exported...or it was the other way around. The K plater in series 3 has had the same owner since 1993ish and was being taxed until a couple of years ago IIRC...they never blew the actual car up in the series.

I'm led to believe the sticking point is in the third series,the first two are owned by the BBC and i'm sure they would love to release them on DVD. The problem lies in the 3rd series,Jimmy Nail's own production company made the thirds series and the feature lenght special and i did hear he won't allow them to be released..which is why UKGold/UK Drama only ever showed the first 2 series on thier channels....it really doesn't suprise me,there are countless reports of fans going up to say hello to Jimmy Nail and him telling them to "fuck off"...i guess he still thinks he's in character(OZ).
