Popularity of the show was high enough to warrant a purchase of the entire series by Sky Television, where it was repeated on a number of channels including Sky Travel, Sky Three and Sky Real Lives, until 2010, when the series ceased to be shown on any channel for the first time since its inception. The final episode of series three can still be seen on Sky Player. Notable cast members
