David,

I think Channel 4 Usually release them on DVD and video see
http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/R/rilectures2003/

There is already a booklet for sale about the lectures,

They may eventually do a DVD so keep checking the site!

Regards,
Mark

Are any of the lectures available in the US? My wife is a High School
science
teacher and she might be able to use them.
