The original black and white master videotapes for the serial were wiped sometime after broadcast, although all episodes survived as 16mm telerecordings. The full serial is unavailable online and was not included on DVD by Simply Media when the company released other surviving Dickens serials produced by the BBC between 1958 and 1969 (such as versions of Bleak House and Great Expectations). As of 2024, it remains unreleased in any format.
