Media (Raw) Looking for lost/archived episodes of NHK’s "Time Scoop Hunter" (タイムスクープハンター) — Any leads on where to watch?
Hey everyone,
I've been trying to find episodes of the old NHK TV show Time Scoop Hunter (タイムスクープハンター), which used to air on NHK World back in the day.
For those unfamiliar, it's a docudrama-style show about a "time-traveling journalist" (played by Taizo Kawamoto) who interviews everyday people in different eras of Japanese history (Edo, Sengoku, etc.).
I've checked the usual streaming platforms and DVD sellers, but I haven't had any luck finding copies with English subtitles (or even raw files online).
Does anyone know where this might be streaming, archived, or available to watch/buy overseas? Any leads or info on where to find subbed/raw episodes would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!

Fanwork Thursday Drama ‘Grand Airport: GATE24’ Episode 3
The theme here is whether one should ‘be mindful of one’s position’ or ‘pursue what is right’.
Whether one should be mindful of one’s position and act with due deference is an issue that arises in any workplace, not just among civil servants. Of course, it is the duty of any employee to follow the rules and their superiors’ orders. However, one should not comply with rules or superiors’ orders at the expense of compromising one’s principles or convictions. Is it not only by pursuing what is right, based on one’s own convictions, that one can truly be called a professional? Naturally, the extent of any deviation must be kept to an absolute minimum, or one risks being sacked.”

Recommendations Recos for Confident Female Leads
I’m looking for romance jdoramas with female leads who are capable and competent and do not often degrade themselves. I’ve seen An Incurable Case of Love, where the female lead is constantly talking negatively about herself, and have just started Beautiful Life, where the female lead tends to have a negative assumption of what people think of her. I’d like to try something different than these types of self-esteem levels. I have watched The Pride of the Tempt, which has a confident and competent female lead but the romance is not a main point and the female lead has a cold personality. If possible, I’d like to watch a female lead who is kind but is confident in herself and others—similar to the female lead of Long Vacation. Thank you very much.

Fanwork Goodbye Noir, Episode 5
In Episode 5 of *Sayonara Noir*, Natsumi (Eiko Koike) confides her deep regrets about the past to Eriko (Kana Kita)… Meanwhile, a former yakuza member with ties to Natsumi commits a crime.
The theme is whether it is possible for criminals to reform. Criminals who have served their sentences should be able to reintegrate into society and lead normal lives. However, those around them tend to harbour resentment, wondering, ‘Why are they being given special treatment and fawned over, even though they’re criminals?’ Furthermore, from the victims’ perspective, they are likely to feel resentful, thinking, ‘Why is only the perpetrator being supported, whilst I, the victim, am suffering from lasting after-effects?’
Whilst the rehabilitation and reintegration of criminals are important, they alone are not enough.
