From what I remember the show was only *really* big over here for the first 3/4 seasons, then they switched the airing to BBC2 at some point and it became much more of a cult thing with a smaller audience?

I have seen most of the episodes from seasons 1-7 I think, but there are still a few I come across with no memories of, and well I think I probably would remember an episode like Home if I'd watched it at the time! So yeah maybe they aired that one later, or I just happened to miss it that week
