It looks like it was the Yorkshire Television (YTV) series "Science Fiction" episode titled "Spycatcher".
Search-engining turned up a discussion[0] from 2011 where a poster, "ukscone", purported to have been an adviser and actor in the production, and to have a PAL VHS copy. Searching "ukscone" on the Raspberry Pi forum got me to a Github profile[1], a Mastodon account[2], and a personal website[3] (with other "social" links). I'm not a "social network" person (beyond HN), but perhaps somebody here who is interested and has access to one of the various "socials" in question would reach out to "ukscone". (I'm not seeing an email address or I'd do it. I'm an old curmudgeon who no longer wants to participate in social networks.)
As I "acted" & consulted on the programme I have a copy of the final edit before transmission unfortunately it's on a 30+ year poorly stored PAL VHS Tape and being now based in the USA I have no way of personally converting it to digital and afaik it's the only copy floating around I'm loathed to let it out of my sight but if anyone based in Brooklyn has the ability to "bake" and transfer PAL VHS I'd be up to let them try.
I've asked Derek Jones (The Director) years ago if he had a copy but he said YTV never gave him one and unfortuneately Sally Hamilton (Production) died a few years later before I had chance to ask her

It looks like we've been doing our homework in parallel. I've gone down a different rabbit hole here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49458147
