Why don't they release more of Don't Wait Up?

Loved seeing the first two series of Don't Wait Up.

I'm in New Zealand and we don't quite get the range of old UK sitcoms as quickly either - as you do over there. I had a look on a UK DVD shop site the other night as was surprised to see how many old UK sitcoms have been release on DVD since I last looked.

Yet I still can't get hold of the later series of Don't Wait Up. Which based on the first 2 series I think is a very good show.

Anyone know why they haven't put it out when there are so many probably less popular shows that have been put out on DVD?

There are other good sitcoms that I'm also suprised haven't been put on DVD - like Sink Or Swim which I was a great fan of when I was younger. Both the main actors in this one are still seen on our screens today. I hope they release it.

Low sales. And a lack of caring.

Acorn will be rereleasing Series 1 & 2 this summer; nothing further is planned at present, but no doubt if sales and interest is sufficient, Series 3 - 6 will follow.
