It does that occasionally. What you need in these circumstances is someone who snagged it last time round and is thus in a position to let you have a copy...
I don't know what the situation is with OTH now. When it was first released, I bought it on cassette, it was that long ago, but it was a Best Of rather than the full version, because there had been some falling out between the writers (mainly Lee + Herring and Patrick Marber, I think) over future rights and similar dull legal stuff. The end result was that all the L&H bits were excised, so I don't know if that has since been resolved. It would seem they managed to come to an accommodation for a BBC7 broadcast at any rate.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll let me know if you want help getting hold of the BBC7 version.
