It may have used to have been there.... (i've always had the family pack so couldn't tell you)

It has also appeared as the guest channel at least once since i have had ntl tv, so base pack subscribers would get it that way

Some parts of the country do get Bravo as part of the Analogue base pack

Interesting, but I think I'd find my memories of it are better than the re-runs, so I'll probably pass...!

Well, I already have a load of episodes a friend taped for me off the Sci-Fi Channel in Detroit so I can confirm that it's as camp as a field of tents. It's still very watchable though (especially when interspersed with Manimal episodes).

And for those wondering about the similarity to Tron, Automan was created by Donald Kushner who was one of the people who worked on Tron.
