Is there a way to purchase and download these or do we just have to watch our TV guides for local broadcasts?

The Apollo 17 program aired (at least in the UK) in 2012. The others have yet to be picked up, I believe, so they are not available for watching.

These look interesting, and I look forward to seeing them when (hopefully) they get picked up in the U.S.
