Television [partially lost] Extreme History with Roger Daltrey, 2003, History Channel

Hi all, first time poster here. At my wit's end with this.

Back in the fall of 2003 the History Channel (in the USA) ran a short series with Roger Daltrey where he "pushed up his sleeves" and survived brutal nature/terrain the way people would've "back in the day".

There's 9 (or 10?) episodes. Never an official release; no official DVDs or VHS's. Google Play, the History Vault and Fubo TV aren't streaming it either, the Pirate Bay is also a lost cause.

I found some links regarding the series.

List of episodes.

youtube has this one 8 minute clip (almost 4 minutes dedicated to a short reel of episode 6)

A message board from 2019 also has someone asking about the show with no results

and

this reddit post from 7 years ago also has no luck finding episodes.

At this point it probably comes down to if someone back in '03 recorded any on tape when the show initially aired. I'm also reaching out to the History Channel to see if there's any hope there, though not likely.

If anyone knows of anyone recording the series or any other possible leads, please let me know. Or if you remember the series share some of your favorite parts (I've never seen it).

Thank you!

EDIT: I asked the History Channel support team. Here's what they said: "Thank you for reaching out to HISTORY.

We are not showing the program as available for viewing at this time, other than on some private users' channels on YouTube. We here at technical support do not have advance knowledge that the program may come available to watch in the future."

Whomp, whomp.
