Anyone remember the C4 comedy/light ent drama called Prospects? 80's?

Where can I find info on it?

Thanks,

Matt

Used to love it, about two blokes in the Isle of Dogs (think thats where it was set) - The late Gary Olsen and the neighbour from Gimme Gimme were in it - Ive been looking for years for this on video/dvd to no avail - would be great to see it again - reminiscent of Minder in some ways? Found this on IMDB but not really much information.

Thanks Ermintrude, Alun. Just what I was looking for. Shame there was only one series made. The link you both gave referred to the camping episode. That's the one I really remember. Although my ex-wife and I got on really well (and still do), for some reason, we were having a real barney that night. It didn't help matters that she sat fuming in one room while I sat ******* myself laughing watching that episode. Ahhhh, happy days.

I loved that programme as well, I always look at the tv schedules to see if it ever pops up on one of the obscure channels but it never has :-, to my knowledge it has never been repeated which is a crying shame.

Found a bit more on this by googling

Thanks again Alun. I've e-mailed C4 to see if it's available on DVD or Vid. I'll post a msg on this site if I hear anything.

Cheers,

Matt

Alunrw, All,

mailed C4 about Prospects. Here's their reply... be afraid, very afraid :-) Still, good of them to get back to me -

"I'm afraid the programme is not commercially available, and we do not supply one-off copies of our programming, so we are unable to assist you I'm afraid.
 
Unfortunately the programme is not currently scheduled for repeats either I'm afraid."

:-(
