===Repeat showings=== The show gained an even wider adult audience in an early evening slot when repeated on Sundays on [[Channel 4]] in 1991.<ref name="cornell218"/> This crossover is reflected in the BBC's review for one of the DVDs when they say that "''Press Gang'' is one of the best series ever made for kids. Or adults."<ref>{{cite web |title=Press Gang 4 DVD |work=BBC β Cult Television |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/cult/2005/06/04/19813.shtml |date=4 June 2005 |access-date=22 December 2006}}</ref> [[Nickelodeon (British and Irish TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] showed nearly all of the episodes in a weekday slot in 1997. The final three episodes of the third series, however, were not repeated on the children's channel because of their content: "The Last Word" double episode with the gun siege, and "Holding On" with the repetition of the phrase "divorce the bitch".<ref name="holdingon"/> On the first transmission of the latter on 11 June 1991, [[continuity announcer]] [[Tommy Boyd]] warned viewers that it contained stronger than usual language. In 2007, [[itv.com]] made the first series, with the exception of "Page One", available to be viewed on its website free of charge.<ref>{{cite web |title=Press Gang |publisher=[[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] |url=http://www.itv.com/BestofITV/kids/pressgang/default.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080117190229/http://www.itv.com/BestofITV/kids/pressgang/default.html |archive-date=17 January 2008 |access-date=17 July 2008}}</ref> 2 episodes were broadcast on the CITV Channel on 5 & 6 January 2013, as part of a weekend of archive programmes to celebrate CITV's 30th anniversary. Since 2022, the full series is available online on the ITV streaming service ITVX.
