It was first broadcast on Tyne Tees and Harlech Television (HTV) from 10 September 1995 onwards, and on CITV (the children's strand of ITV) from 1 July 1996 onwards; there were two series between 1995 and 1997, produced by Zenith North and Tyne Tees in 26 twenty-five-minute episodes.
[citation needed] A three-disc DVD collection, containing 13 of the 26 episodes of the 1995 series, was released in Australia and New Zealand in 2005,[citation needed] and is marked "Revised Edition" to avoid confusion with the previous release of the 1979 series with 1995 artwork.
A complete edition of the series was released on DVD in Australia and New Zealand in 2016.
[1][2] Other episodes have reportedly been released on DVD in Europe,[citation needed] but only the adaptation of Five on a Treasure Island was released on DVD in the UK.
[citation needed] The series has been made available on streaming platforms outside the U.K., in some cases only in a dubbed form, such as by German co-producer ZDF, which also has the original English version in its studio library that it has made available in Italy through its streaming channel Pash.
