Is there an online streaming service where I can find a UK TV series called "Main Chance" which ran c1968-1975?
I have found 3 episodes on Youtube. Tried Amazon and google but have drawn a blank.

Probably not. You could've bought the whole thing on dvd but the company that released it just went bust https://www.amazon.co.uk/Main-Chance-Complete-DVD/dp/B076WGR7RY
Some copies of series one or two are still available but about £69+ each

According to Sky's website Talking Pictures TV is currently broadcasting it & are part way through series 4

but you need an actual telly with freeview/freesat/sky to be able to watch it

(They've got their own free streaming services at tptvencore ut it's pretty limited/basic and The Main Chance isn't on there)"And suddenly I find myself listening to a man I've never known before,Telling me about the sea..."1 -
Correct. That's what drew me to the series. Mum likes it as it reminds her of time at a legal practice at this time.
