I think this is probably what happened with the majority of Series Three and Series Four of The Worker (made at the same ATV company around the same time). One colour episode exists, the others are black and white.
I think the reason she 'moved house' was that when the filming crew returned for Series Two, they discovered that the original house had been rendered, and didn't look at all right. They needed a brick house.

I also like the pilot episode.
Makeovers.
They can change the place too much, sometimes.
Soap and water, new paint and new tarmac - that's usually that's all that's needed in these places.
I definitely believe there is great value in old, bad programmes - especially as time passes.
They also look like masterpieces now, compared with today's tv.
