In some cases, contractual terms may have affected the ability to show repeats. I remember reading that the contract covering the original TV production of "1984" (featuring Peter Cushing and the scene with rats that led to questions in Parliament) only allowed a single repeat and for the copy to be lodged with the National Film Archive. Likewise the BBC were forced to withdraw from sale cassettes of the late Alexis Korner's radio broadcasts after his family found that his original contract with the BBC had similar provisions.
