Comment on GUEST HOUSE PARADISO - UK Limited Edition
UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 2 months agoI’ve had quick look on YouTube, while the live shows are really easy to find (5 in total), you’ll have to sail the seven seas for the TV show. I guess the BBC are very protective.
I have them on DVD, but there were some 540p broadcast rips that looked really good. In case you didn’t know, three series, six episodes apiece.

Actually I heard it was more along the lines of not very forward looking with their licensing. In the UK all the content is easily available to stream generally. BBC iPlayer Etc. But outside of the Kingdom. It’s licensing hell. Britbox will have some here. Acorn some others. Dr who(post Sylvester) i think is on Disney + of all places. Classic who is streaming on Pluto 24/7. And huge swaths not being on any legitimate streaming service available here. Sometimes PBS will have Doc Martin, hold the sunset, or as time goes by. Nearly a decade ago Cartoon Network of all places had dark place for a short run and some of Noel fielding’s insanity. I think Boosh maybe on Hulu?
It’s a mess in no uncertain terms. Thankfully though. With all the confusion about licensing who what and where I haven’t heard much in the way of cease and desist letters or prosecution for those sailing the seven seas. I may or may not have a jelly fin server loaded with a few terabytes simply because it’s unstreamable anywhere else. Which going back to Simon Pegg reminds me I need to start and get through every season of spaced at some point

I can’t remember when Bottom was on or even if it has been on BBC iPlayer. Its a rotating carousel of the latest shows and older classics. Sadly not a library of everything ever.
But on a more positive note. Spaced! What a show!

Yes not sure how I made it all this time without seeing spaced. I was there for the whole Cornetto trilogy. And generally love everything I’ve ever seen Simon Pegg in. Including the Star Trek reboots and that weird American Film he and Nick did with Seth Rogen. And of course I can’t say I’ve ever heard anything bad about Edgar Wright. Perhaps someday he might have a Graham linehan moment. But hopefully not.
