This is patently false.  They may have been shot (I doubt it) but they
are certainly not available on video in Europe.  Considering that
they're only a few shows into the first season on the BBC, this is not
surprising.

No, they didn't.  I agree that TP could work as a one-off, but it
looks like they're gearing up for the long haul now.  Whether or not
this is a good idea... well, we'll have to wait and see how the shows
