Series 2 of The Adventure Game has been added to the store today. Sadly only 3 episodes exist in the BBC Archives - they don't seem to have access to off-airs for the other two...
The complete Series 2 of Rentaghost is finally up as well...

It's interesting the 2nd series of Rentaghost has been cleared, I remember discussing the lack of home releases a few years ago & was told it might be due to someone in the show blocking it's release or problems with royalties from music used in some episodes. |

They are lookimg into getting David Yip episode for the Dvd Release along with the unbroadcast pilot . |

I'm sure off-airs exist for all the missing episodes. Both series were broadcast twice which doubles the possibility of them having been recorded. Somewhere there are most likely some E-180s and/or L-750s with the complete first/second series of The Adventure Game on them. We just need to find them...

Interesting about Rentaghost seasons 1 & 2, I was (wrongly) under the impression that the early episodes had been junked in the early 90's children's TV junkings. That's a relief!

Hi Richard, If my memory serves me correctly........... what I heard was that the masters were indeed junked in the 90s purge. When the error was spotted, lower quality copies were sourced that were used for broadcast on UK Gold. That's what I recall reading. If I am in error, someone please jump in  The first season is actually rather good! The later stuff, I personally struggle to get through. |

IIRC the early series of Rentaghost had been copied onto newer format tapes for showing on UK Gold & retained, & the 2" masters were junked.
