I don't believe it was ever shown in the US or Canada, and UK TV in
Australasia has not re-run it.

I don't know if TVNZ or TV3 ever ran it in NZ. The Country Nurse with Nerys
Hughes was run on TVNZ, but that I only picked up via some YouTube TVNZ
continuity stuff.

The Liver Birds seems to have run on PARAMOUNT 2 Comedy in the UK around
Easter, but year is unknown.

I somehow expect that decimalization must have made its way into the scripts
somehow. Interesting prices noted for 1975: Front Loader Clothes Washer @
100 UKP !!! Oooutch that's dear!

Liver Birds notes
-- The whole series should be available via .torrent files, but it isn't.
-- Hulu,com has no agreement to run BBC Classic Material (when the BBC TV
produced most of its content, 1945-1980s).
-- All Liver Birds episodes are in Colour (to the best of my knowledge) as
it was a Flagship programme at the time.

it much harder, in 1966 and 1967. Colour TV was introduced around the same
time as BBC TV.
