Well the first series DVD was very badly produced, made by one of these cheap DVD companies, rather than a BBC/FremantleMedia release.
And most music used was dubbed over with a cheaper, similar version. For example in one scene, Lady In Red plays in the background whilst the characters talk, and another version is played over the top of it, to try and disguise it. In another scene, Wham is meant to play on the radio, and instead a cheap 80's library track is played at high volume over the top of it.
It's very badly done.

The first season has been released on DVD, though whatever these rights issues are involve something from the second series onwards. These are usually either music clearance rights (repeat fees) or cast repeat fees (though these are usually cleared perpetually before filming begins).
