The series was originally set to broadcast as two feature-length episodes, but due to local elections taking place on the day the first episode was due to be broadcast, 4 May 2000, the series was pulled from the schedules at the last minute, on the grounds that it may be in breach of rules on political bias. Although it was later rescheduled for broadcast in the winter of 2000/2001, the series was once again pushed back, and was set to premiere in June 2001, although due to the foot-and-mouth outbreak of 2001, the General Election due to take place in May was put back to 7 June, and the series was subsequently pulled from the schedules once more, and remains unbroadcast in the United Kingdom. The series was shown as part of a season showcasing Paula Milne's work at the BFI in London on 14 September 2012.
