 Ideally, after the series has met its contractual obligations with [[TV1]], the episodes, raw video utilized, and additional unused recordings might be shared copyright-free, made freely available for sharing, researching, archiving, and for anyone (ie. [[Windsor Media Center]] and Internet students) to edit with as they see fit.  Hopefully folks might be inspired to create [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_edit fan edits], feature films, or documentaries with supplemental content.
