Reunion special (2007)

As a run in to the reunion the BBC repeated every episode, two a night, Monday to Thursday, starting November 6, 2006, on BBC Two. It is worth noting that the original run of the first series in 1996 was neither a critical nor a ratings success, with interest in the show so apathetic that it could barely even come under the term 'a cult success'. It was only with the commencement of a repeat run of the first series, beginning January 2, 1997, and then every Wednesday evening from January 3 in a post-Newsnight slot that the show really began to attract serious, but still relatively moderate, viewer attention. This rerun ran smoothly into the start of the new second series, from Monday March 17, 1997, restored to its peak-time slot, by which time the series was attracting praise as a cult hit. By the time the second series ended, the show was attracting strong audience figures for a BBC Two show of around four million, and the show became a national talking point, regularly making headlines in both tabloid and broadsheet newspapers, for all the right reasons, although this is perhaps unsurprising given that the show had been on the air every week from the beginning of January to mid-August 1997. Both of the two series were then repeated late-night in the summer of 2000 from June 12 to August 2 (each episode was shown twice during the first run). Another screening of the first series only was shown on Sunday evenings between March 30 and July 13, 2003. The lack of repeats can be credited as being mainly due to the high number of VHS sales during the late nineties.
