I am becoming increasingly desperate to unearth more episodes. Hacker Time shaped my childhood and now I value it more than ever.

I could talk forever about the genius of this show. The writing, the sketches, the humour, the creativity.

I am trying so hard to savour every possible piece of this children's TV show. The writing is genius, the humour (and toilet humour for the children) is sublime, and the music is on another level.

I do not want this show to die. I hope there is somebody else somewhere who feels the same.

Here is a playlist of all available episodes: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQClmJylc9-kOCG90YKvkaY8cuU4bgufd

WE MUST FIND MORE.

You have probably already heard about this, but CBBC is apparently shutting down next year, and getting replaced with some sort of online platform. It's a bit vague, but I think the best case scenario is that they'll have a more comprehensive archive of their shows than iPlayer (at least for series that haven't been licensed by other streaming services). They're still updating his Instagram regularly, so it might be worth showing some demand for these episodes.

There are also some torrents up on TPB that nobody has been seeding, including the episodes 5, 8, and 10 of season 5, which aren't on the playlist.

Thank you so much for your reply, you have really helped me.

I do hope that it will be much more accessible one day especially because they have recently decided to take down clips of Hacker Time from the website. (The episodes you have mentioned are also the ones I would love to find!)

Thank you so much, and let's hope for the best!

I would say contact the beeb, but even though the series is a little recent, BBC has a poor track record of preserving archives of their shows. I mean just ask Doctor Who as an example of poor storage. I don't know if BBC kept Hacker Time.

I don't think I can be of much help since I can't get iPlayer working where I live (US), but I'm very interested in this. I love Hacker & Dodge (I watch whichever segments are viewable on the CBBC & Cbeebies YouTube channels). I think my favourite clips are the Romeo & Juliet parody and the Cbeebies House nursery rhyme segments.
I also like the show Watch with Mother (were the episodes that got VHS releases the only ones that had been archived?). I rely on what's available on YouTube since I don't have a PAL VCR (although I have been able to get PAL DVD's working on my Windows XP laptop). The title Watch with Mother reminds me of the Japanese programme おかあさんといっしょ (my favourite is the spin-off いないいないばぁっ! because it has ワンワン the dog). Both of these programmes still air today but they change it every few years (I have not been able to watch the new episodes through legal means because their streaming service is region-locked)

That's completely OK! Thanks for your participation!
Have you seen The Voice Barkstage series?

Is this the show you mean? youtu.be/qE9dsOu3oE8
There are more episodes on YouTube, I think.
I hope you find more episodes of the Japanese programme, too!

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!
(I know, I wish they did though, perhaps it was just too good!)

There are literally hundreds of places I'd trust infinitely more than TPB for piracy, which I won't mention for obvious reasons, but definitely do not tell people to go there.
