Extracts of the episode including the gymnasium sketch surfaced DVD special features by the BBC. To date, this is the only episode to have never aired on free-to-air TV in Australia, and remains reasonably rare.[5] The episode was released on DVD for the first time in full along with all the other Goodies episodes in 2018.[6]
