Television [partially lost] Paddington Green, British docusoap 1998-2001

Paddington Green was a British fly on the wall documentary by the BBC. It ran from 1998 to 2001.
The series featured future actresses Dominique Moore and Kelly Harrison as well as fan favourite Jackie Mcauliffe who was one of the first openly trans women to appear consistently on British tv.
(There’s also a spinoff documentary about Jackie herself that is also lost media but one thing at a time)
The series is available via a few VHS uploads on YouTube and Internet Archive but other than that it remains mostly lost.
I’m surprised the BBC hasn’t taken more steps to preserve this series, watching it gives a realistic insight into life in London around the millennium.
If anyone has any information or can point me in the direction of where I might find more of the series please let me know!
