small group of British Television enthusiasts, Kaleidoscope, did much to promote the programme and negotiated the rights to rescreen, at conventions and meetings, many of the black-and-white Thames episodes and the remaining ABC episodes. They also unearthed a 1968 ABC promotional reel, on a long-obsolete domestic videotape format, which included a five-minute extract from the otherwise-missing third series episode "Must Be the Architecture, Can't Be the Climate" and audio recordings of several lost ABC episodes. Most notably, Kaleidoscope organised and hosted a 'Public Eye: Thirtieth Anniversary' convention in 1995. This was attended by Alfred Burke in person. The television channel Talking Pictures TV began repeating the series from series 4 onwards in October 2018. It has been one of the station's "most popular screenings", according to a list in an article published in The Guardian in May 2020. DVD release Network Video issued the Brighton series in a three-DVD box set in mid-2004, complete with some restoration work. Bonus material included the complete ABC episode "Nobody Kills Santa Claus" and the above-mentioned extract from "Must Be The Architecture..." Sales of the box set were moderate; a follow-up four-disc set of Series 5, including the ABC episode "Don't Forget You're Mine", was released in December 2004. Network released the 1972/3 and 1975 series on DVD in 2008, and the remaining ABC material on 27 August 2012 (2-DVD set, Network/StudioCanal 7953731). A 17-disc box set of every surviving episode, including a book on the making of the series by Andrew Pixley, plus interviews with Alfred Burke and surviving episode fragments and audio soundtracks, was released by Network Video in 2012.

Sharples was perhaps best known as musical director of Opportunity Knocks but had several memorable TV themes to his credit, as well as being a skilled conductor.
