I loved the TV show and was actually searching for it on-line, trying to find out if it will be aired again and/or if there’s a way to watch the programmes I missed. (I tuned in half way through season 3 – so I have a lot of catching up to do.) 

According to the New House Farm website, the show is not available on DVD but is aired occasionally…

Has anyone heard when it will be aired again?  I can’t find anything on google (which results in the New House Farm website, in BBC’s new environmental website Bloom where some graphic designer went bonkers with Flash – basic version available here, another BBC website on the TV show, and a heck of a lot on Kermit the Frog).
