    Drake's Progress aired for two series and a total of twelve 30 minute episodes. Both the first and second series broadcast on Mondays at 8.00pm, with the series one airing fortnightly. Due to the archival policies of the time, none of the episodes exist in the BBC archives and all are thought to have been wiped.
