I don't have same fond memories of High Life as you do.
And you're right, someone has put the whole nine yards on YouTube. I thought I'd give it another chance but I had to switch off after a few minutes. Not my cup of tea then and not my cup of tea now. And I usually like Siobhan Redmond and (to a lesser extent) Alan Cumming.
Now if you'd mentioned High Times I'd have been with you all the way. Now that was a brilliant Scottish comedy that for some reason has been criminally neglected.
I don't even know if they showed the series in England. (I read somewhere that it was sold to a South American channel and it's become a smash hit sandwiched in between the the four hour Chavez speeches and the six hour Castro speeches. Strange but true.)
That 'MegaJamie20' over at YouTube deserves a gold star for that public service. And apparently s/he is also going to upload the second series at some point in the future.
Btw, the film High Life is a recommended movie from where I'm standing. It has a heist gone wrong plot that you've probably seen fifty times before but the dialogue's sharp and the performances - especially the turn from Rossif Sutherland - are first rate.

If you've never seen it, some kind soul has put the first series on YouTube.
