As someone from the US, I love learning about all these British kids' series. Other than Wallace and Gromit and Thomas the Tank Engine, I've never really heard of these. It's my first exposure to what you guys watched over there.
I have a bunch of Raggy Doll episodes I recorded as a kid. I best check them out and see if there’s any missing episodes. Presuming the VHS tapes even still work.
Awesome mention to the 1953 Sad Story of Henry! Well to make things clear.. us Thomas fans don't really know much about the pilot ourselves but as far as we know (Not just fans but really in genral) The Pilot kinda went to hell.. With Henry derailing and The Rev. W. Awdry just being left entirely disappointed And the BBC sorta confirmed no copies exist and all we have is a single (Low quality & Black and White) picture of James. And not to nitpick, but the Models shown at 2:07-2:23 are not his work, they are fan made. Again just a Thomas fan stopping by! Thank you for this wonderful content ^^
Back in about 2008 I was on a tour of the BBC London studios. One of the rooms I was shown was a store room of puppets, and indeed, very clearly, Badger was there. I’m guessing there were several Badgers. Also the Psammead was there, Gordon the Gopher was on display in a corridor. So was a Davros head. I wasn’t supposed to but I secretly touched Badger. In a respectful way of course.
@@marcusblackwell2372 Davros’ head was on display in a corridor, not in the puppet room, just to clarify. There was what looked like a screen used Tennant era TARDIS prop just outside a side entrance. I did take a photo of the TARDIS but photos inside weren’t allowed.
As a Canadian, I think you unlocked a childhood memory with the Jungle Run series. I remember seeing reruns of the later Jungle Run episodes back in the late 2000s/early 2010s.
I'm fairly certain that we get a lot of BBC Children's shows, often on Treehouse TV. For example, Teletubbies was British on that channel, when it aired on PBS, it was Americanized. As was Boobah, I think. I also remember watching Paddington Bear on CBC when I was a child. It's possible Raggy Dolls was broadcast here as well, on Treehouse. I seem to recall seeing it in listings, though I don't know if it had a regularly scheduled time or not.
Such a wonderful video! One lost UK kids show I can think of is Smith and Goody. It was shown on ITV back in 1980, starring Mel Smith and Bob Goody and had one series with a total of 7 episodes (one of them was a special called "Smith and Goody On Ice"). There is a bit of footage as well as some general information about it out there, but unfortunately no full episodes are available anywhere. It's been lost for quite a while now. Would love it if it gets found one day...
One show i remember was the lampees. a cartoon about little imps that operated (and lived in) Street lamps, which was aired by the bbc about 1997-ish. Idk if its considered lost. But certainly I've never heard anyone talk about it. Which is a shame, as I remember it being a really imaginative, and fun show. I even saw a stage adaption of it as a kid.
Interesting seeing Kipper the Dog in this video (or at least the beginning). I'm American, but I always liked renting movies from the library as a kid, and one of them had several episodes of Kipper. Had you not shown the footage here, I would've forever thought it was a fever dream.
They call him Kipper Kipper The Dog The Dog with the slipper That’s Kipper, Kipper The Dog (By the way, that’s a toad, not a frog) Now he can do this Do you think that you could? Now he can do that Just like any old cat could Would you like a dog, like a dog, like a dog like a dog Like Kipper Kipper The Dog (Now that’s a frog)
i really enjoyed this video, hearing about all of these lost uk children's shows in such great detail makes me appreciate the effort you went into to give us viewers some context, well done and can't wait for the next one!!
Chuckle Brothers Live And In Trouble, I saw this live show at a theatre in 2000 and it contained a lot more material than in the version I've seen recorded and uploaded to UA-cam. I struggle to remember it all, but I do remember that they performed The Chicken Song from the Spitting Image TV show, and got the audience to stand up and perform actions to it. In another scene, they get a trial for a football club and perform slow motion action replays of their goals. There was also a scene where they got a job in a custard pie factory. An up and coming girl group also did some pop performances between the scenes.
i found a trend in the BBC/CBBC/CBeebies shows, they all mostly have a original version. For example, blue peter, blue peter has been airing for ages ever since 1958.
I live in the US, most of these shows I didn’t know about, but i grew up with the OG Thomas films (not the animated ones) and ive seen just about every piece of Wallace and Gromit media, what a blast from the past!
I always found A Grand Day Out weirdly terrifying as a kid. The hugeness of space and the idea of being completely alone with a crazy robot on a deserted planet - it was too much
There is a show I have recently rediscovered thanks to my boyfriend (we are both British, we were both alive when this aired, but we never watched it until later). This show was called Blips, airing in 2005. The show was made by Ragdoll Productions, directed by Anne Wood, the creator of the Teletubbies. It starred Robin Stevens as Mr Perfect (known as playing Grandpappa in Boohbah, also an Anne Wood production) and narrated by Patricia Routledge. The premise was Mr Perfect in different job roles. The first part was a perfect construction of a part of the job being shown, such as building a wall for a builder, then time would reset and purple blobs called Blips would create chaos and sabotage Mr Perfect's job, though he never saw them. Sadly, despite 26 episodes were created, only 3 are available on UA-cam: "Builder", "Ice Cream Man" and "Movie Star". Blips never got a home release.
This reminds me of an old cartoon called Mr Benn, where he visits a hat shop and winds up going on adventures based on whatever hat he tries on that week. Good times 😁
@@Izelikestea I know! I think a lot of people forgot about it. Hell, I forgot about it. If I hadn't have rewatched Boohbah, I wouldn't know about Blips.
As a Brit myself, I grew up in the early-mid 2000s to early 2010s. I remember jungle run vividly as one of my favourite shows, I used to fake being sick just to catch an episode as I wished I was on it. Chuckle vision is a show I was introduced to by my dad and cousins as my cousins are a few years older than me and my dad is a huge fan of slapstick comedy and he was heartbroken with the news of one half of them dying, he died without knowing the true meaning for BBC scrapping his show. I also know Paul is in the show Not Going Out as Lee’s dad and he does a tremendous job and occasionally references the chuckle brothers. One bit of lost media I will add to your collection is Sarah Jane Adventures, I grew up a huge fan and it’s why I’m so into doctor who lore today, but during the last series we obviously know Sarah passed away but the series hadn’t fully aired and plans for the new series to get filmed was actually in the works. I may add I’ve seen some articles online discussing unfilmed episodes and some unaired. Another thing for Sarah Jane was the soundtrack; it was actually supposed to be physically available but because of her passing it was scrapped, possibly due to some of the music being linked to unaired episodes
That’s not actually Paul in Not going out, it’s Bobby Ball, who sadly passed away in 2020. What they do have in common is though is that they are both absolute legends of comedy.
Skip to 22:00 if you want to avoid the TEN MINUTES covering every lost episode of The Raggy Dolls. Sorry, but to anyone not familiar with the show like me, it drags.
Wallace and Gromit needs a hour video I love them when I first saw the first uk lost media I was very interested I’ve been watching you for 2 years and every video gets better
21:45 - After Series 9, They should release ''The Raggy Dolls: Feature Length Movie!'' released 3rd April 1996! Because it's too celebrate it's 10th Anniversary! And this movie features the series finale of The Raggy Dolls!
36:25 I remember that show. A kid who went to my primary school was on it. His group won and he recieved an extra shirt and rucksack (he had an older sister who did not appear on the show) for his sibling. Sadly, another kid in our school stole it from him and the teachers made no effort to help him get it back.
@@bouncingbluesoul5270 I dunno. We went to different secondary schools (High school for Americans) and lost contact. I remember him being really annoyed about it back in the day though.
Wow! That 'Jungle Run' show sounds a LOT like 'Legends of the Hidden Temple' here in the States! I wonder if there was any cross-inspiration...(?) (But I don't think "tooken" is actually a word. Haha) =)
Fantastic video! I’ll give my thoughts on each bit, then some suggestions. The derailing railway on live TV sounds hilarious. I’d love to see it if it even still exists. The Raggy Dolls looks pretty cute. Love Claude and the kangaroo toy. Glad to meet another lifelong Wallace and Gromit fan. Not really a fan of that badger, I prefer Sooty and Nev the Bear. I always preferred Raven and Trapped to Jungle Run, but I appreciate the production design and variety of challenges.

As for the suggestions; The Backyardigans had a UK dub which is now mostly lost, a shame since I vastly prefer the British voices to the horrible American ones (same with Lazytown). I’ve already mentioned Trapped and Raven, but another CBBC gameshow I enjoyed was Mission 2110. It’s lost with some found bits, and some reused robots in DW. Hope you appreciate this review and I’m loving your content.
Actually fun fact, my close friend (formerly my boyfriend) allegedly owns the lost Thomas & Friends 1983 Down the Mine pilot. He's shown multiple people in his close circle of friends who can confirm it's real, and he'd flown out somewhere to meet friends, presumably to also work on restoring the pilot. He hasn't release it because it's damaged, and he's not going to leak any of it until it's done because he doesn't want to drum up hype. According to him, it's really nothing special apart from the differences in the models. (After all, it was officially readapted as the 25th episode and reused some footage). Personally though, judging by how the fandom has treated him and how much they've hounded him over it (to the point he quit twitter), I doubt we even deserve to see it.
Hey, anyone else remember that obscure Welsh cartoon ‘Sali Mail’ I remember viewing it on Australian television back in 2001/02, anyhow great vid my man👍👍
There's another piece I personally want found: In 2015 I think, the show Tree Fu Tom got its own live stage show. It's nothing exactly fancy, but personally, I just want it found for 1 reason: a certain song. I don't know the name, but it sounds like Country music. The plot really is nothing special: the main character group of the show (consisting of Tom, a human boy who's turned into a superhero to protect the tiny world of Treetopolis, Zigzoo, an amphibious inventor who isn't a mad scientist, but can be shown to be rather scatterbrained at times (but not in a forgetful way), Ariela, a cowgirl butterfly who's interestingly the only character to have an American voice in both the UK & American dubs who runs her own ranch, Squirmtum, a beetle of some sort that mines sap from the tree that Treetopolis is located (that powers a lot of technology in Treetopolis) and as you may guess, is rather a scaredy-bug, and Twigs, a silly sprite who's Tom's best friend, as they all go hunt for treasure after discovering and identifying a treasure map, but it's also a race against time as the Mushas (the primary antagonist but sometimes ally) are also on the hunt. Also, it's a musical, but I can't entirely understand what most of the songs contribute to the plot, except one introducing the main crew of the show and another where they sing about their new treasure map. A sizzle reel exists on UA-cam (as well as some other clips, one even being a song), but other than those ones, nothing else exists online
Update on The Raggy Dolls: Old Fashioned Dolls, Lady Luck, Homeward Bound, Railway Dolls and The Royal County Show have all been found. Invisible Dolls and The Robot Canteen have also now been found in English. Edit: There are also now some screenshots from the episode "Rainbow's End" on Shutterstock
You should Definitely talk about James the cat season 1 and 2 (from 1984 and 1998) and flower stories as those are also pieces of UK lost media. (The first episode of the flower stories called the black queen hasn’t been found in English yet and the episode of Arfur Mark from James the cat season 1 still needs to be found, along with many of the season 2 episodes in English)
Even if I’m from America, I’ve always enjoyed watching British televisions shows since I was young. If not for the Brits we wouldn’t have Wallace and Gromit, The Teletubbies and Doctor Who!
I did see Doctor What back in the day. I can tell you how the scene with the Garlic went. But before I do... I don't recall too much sadly, I also saw Barry Potty but I can barely recall most of it. All I can really recall is a scene in which they were re enacting the flying car scene, but the whole stage was dark except for glowing pop up images. I recall Spongebob and Patrick actually showing up briefly during this. It was a weird scene and felt very non sequitur if I can recall...which isn't much. However, I do recall the Garlic scene from Doctor What quite vividly, while I can't remember much else about it, I do remember how the Garlic scene went... It starts off relatively calm with the two Brothers on stage, but when suddenly the Garlic shows up, and it gets quite intense and dramatic for a moment, with the Brothers trying to fight it...but then I recall the Crazy Frog version of Axel F playing, and the Garlic then gets taken off stage (the threat being pacified), with Barry then miming the Crazy Frog's noses before the scene ended. Hope this helps. I recall people being quite disappointed the Garlic only showed up for that brief time. The stage shows were very fun though, especially the River Rother, which had a boulder get thrown onto the audience and they had to carry it around. And without giving my location away, this was at the Wycombe Swan in Buckinghamshire.
Wow Garlic Wow, seeing the chuckle brothers in action is still an incredible memory! Appreciate you sharing! Definitely didn't know about that scene with Barry Potty 😂 amusing to think of a SpongeBob crossover! The Garlic scene I wanna know now! was it in the first or second act? was it on the alien planet? or somewhere else? & was it just a Dalek prop? if so, what kind of model or did they actually build an original prop for the Garlic for the production? That's one hell of an original way to get rid of a Dalek-like creature though! via the meme of Crazy Frog 🤣 I think I would run away from that as well!
@@ScribblestoScreen It occured near the end of the play. I don't recall if it was on an alien planet or not (Infact I can only recall a sort of english village backdrop weirdly for this part). Yes it was an actual Garlic prop, not just a regular Dalek. In regards to the Harry Potty part, Spongebob only showed up for a second as a weird gag.
I want to point out that although running for 21 seasons and 292 episodes makes Chucklevision ONE OF the longest running BBC kids shows after Blue Peter, Grange Hill ran for 31 seasons and 601 episodes, from 1978 to 2008, beating Chucklevision by quite a lot.
I used to love watching The Raggy Dolls as a youngster during the 90’s, but never knew what was wrong with Sad Sack. As far as I could tell, he was just sad all the time. It’s only just now I found out what was wrong with him.
Hey, Scribbles to Screen, what do you think of the lost media of the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood and Florida from before 2001? I'd love to see footage of Dark Torment and Universal Classic Monster Mania haunted houses to surface online one day (heck, there have been a few footage of Halloween Horror Nights at its first ever debut at the Florida park).
I hope that you talk about the obscure Hit Entertainment and CBBC program, Sheeep because the 26th and last episode of the show (which is actually the 18th episode in production order) currently exists online as several clips on Vimeo.
When You Said 99 Episodes Of Jungle Run It Reminded Me Of Caddicarus's Video On Simpsons SkateBoarding Of When Caddy Realize's That The Price Is Over 99 Dollars Just Something Silly I Notice While Watching Your Interesting Video On Lost British media
There is one British children's show that is lost called "Phillip's Wish". Very little info and no footage of the show was surfaced. It aired from 1993-1997 on CBBC (then Children's BBC) and it is unknown if it was released internationally or not. It'll be nice to talk about it briefly in volume 2 of this video.
Something tells me alot of the original content for wallace and gromit went up in the fire along with all the original sets bud :'( still remember when that happened... 2 pieces of lost media for you to look out for aswell: 1) Why Don't You. the year they had the weird sentient TV that takes over the house. 2) CYBERZONE hosted by craig charles. Only 1 episode has been "found" and uploaded.
After watching this I do have a suggestion for another show if you ever do another vid like this: Wolf It. There's some very low quality YT vids out there but for the most part none of the eps exist any more apparently.
There’s a more recent show that has become lost media, strange hill high! This show is honestly gold but now there is nowhere to watch it other than UA-cam reuploads. I’m not sure why it was removed from bbc and prime, maybe because everyone who remembers the show was terrified of it
omgggg nooo, i loved this show and was literally thinking about it the other day. i remember watching it so much a few years ago. i hope it gets found because it was very important in my childhood
Can you do video covering rock and rule and its troubled production which resulted in the original negatives for the original cut getting lost in a fire.
Here's one for volume 2. BBC's Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars (1996) that starred a young Reggie Yates. Very few people even remember it. There used to be episodes on UA-cam but they appear to have vanished now.
I've been searching for a show I watched years ago. Not sure if its Lost Media though. Don't remember too much about it but here's what I have so far. It was centered around a bunch of kids (possibly teenagers) They wind up inside a video game and either have to play through to escape or they're looking for someone else who got trapped in the game. It was a mix of live action and animation, switching to animation when they were in the game The animation style was similar to, but not the same as, Reboot There was a Dungeonmaster type character that was helping them, he was just a floating head (I vaguely recall him wearing glasses but I'm not sure) At some point, they have to go to Level Zero in order to progress The only line of dialogue I remember is a joke the floating head tells at one point. Something about the smelliest sound is "dung" (get it? Coz dung sounds like dong? I know its an awful joke but that's all I can remember about the joke) I think I watched it sometime around the late 90s, early 2000s but it may have been older. Sorry, that's all I remember 😔
there's a lot of UK shows I grew up watching on a UK channel (I'm American) and also because my mom was fan of British stuff so she'd buy old British movies and such. I remember some of these clearly and then some of these were very vaguely familiar...and then some I've never seen as far as I remember...
As someone from the US, I love learning about all these British kids' series. Other than Wallace and Gromit and Thomas the Tank Engine, I've never really heard of these. It's my first exposure to what you guys watched over there.
Same. As American who grew up with Mr roger or bear and the big blue house.
Same but the other way round
Man, the art style of Raggy Dolls looks incredible.
I have a bunch of Raggy Doll episodes I recorded as a kid. I best check them out and see if there’s any missing episodes. Presuming the VHS tapes even still work.
How exciting! Please do keep us posted on that!
Awesome mention to the 1953 Sad Story of Henry!
Well to make things clear.. us Thomas fans don't really know much about the pilot ourselves but as far as we know (Not just fans but really in genral)
The Pilot kinda went to hell.. With Henry derailing and The Rev. W. Awdry just being left entirely disappointed
And the BBC sorta confirmed no copies exist and all we have is a single (Low quality & Black and White) picture of James.
And not to nitpick, but the Models shown at 2:07-2:23 are not his work, they are fan made.
Again just a Thomas fan stopping by! Thank you for this wonderful content ^^

thanks for the heads up about Badger being back! love that tiktok account :)
Actually fun fact, my close friend (formerly my boyfriend) allegedly owns the lost Thomas & Friends 1983 Down the Mine pilot. He's shown multiple people in his close circle of friends who can confirm it's real, and he'd flown out somewhere to meet friends, presumably to also work on restoring the pilot. He hasn't release it because it's damaged, and he's not going to leak any of it until it's done because he doesn't want to drum up hype. According to him, it's really nothing special apart from the differences in the models. (After all, it was officially readapted as the 25th episode and reused some footage). Personally though, judging by how the fandom has treated him and how much they've hounded him over it (to the point he quit twitter), I doubt we even deserve to see it.
Hey, anyone else remember that obscure Welsh cartoon ‘Sali Mail’ I remember viewing it on Australian television back in 2001/02, anyhow great vid my man👍👍
There's another piece I personally want found:
In 2015 I think, the show Tree Fu Tom got its own live stage show. It's nothing exactly fancy, but personally, I just want it found for 1 reason: a certain song. I don't know the name, but it sounds like Country music.
The plot really is nothing special: the main character group of the show (consisting of Tom, a human boy who's turned into a superhero to protect the tiny world of Treetopolis, Zigzoo, an amphibious inventor who isn't a mad scientist, but can be shown to be rather scatterbrained at times (but not in a forgetful way), Ariela, a cowgirl butterfly who's interestingly the only character to have an American voice in both the UK & American dubs who runs her own ranch, Squirmtum, a beetle of some sort that mines sap from the tree that Treetopolis is located (that powers a lot of technology in Treetopolis) and as you may guess, is rather a scaredy-bug, and Twigs, a silly sprite who's Tom's best friend, as they all go hunt for treasure after discovering and identifying a treasure map, but it's also a race against time as the Mushas (the primary antagonist but sometimes ally) are also on the hunt.
Also, it's a musical, but I can't entirely understand what most of the songs contribute to the plot, except one introducing the main crew of the show and another where they sing about their new treasure map. A sizzle reel exists on UA-cam (as well as some other clips, one even being a song), but other than those ones, nothing else exists online
RIP Neil Innes 1944-2019😢
I'm surprised I've never come across ChuckleVision in my life, given my family loved British content growing up. Seemed like a cool show!
On cex, the raggy dolls dvds go from £8 to 10, all are in stock
Update on The Raggy Dolls: Old Fashioned Dolls, Lady Luck, Homeward Bound, Railway Dolls and The Royal County Show have all been found. Invisible Dolls and The Robot Canteen have also now been found in English.
Edit: There are also now some screenshots from the episode "Rainbow's End" on Shutterstock
You should Definitely talk about James the cat season 1 and 2 (from 1984 and 1998) and flower stories as those are also pieces of UK lost media. (The first episode of the flower stories called the black queen hasn’t been found in English yet and the episode of Arfur Mark from James the cat season 1 still needs to be found, along with many of the season 2 episodes in English)
Even if I’m from America, I’ve always enjoyed watching British televisions shows since I was young. If not for the Brits we wouldn’t have Wallace and Gromit, The Teletubbies and Doctor Who!
There's a lost media of a Cgi test/pilot for Fireman Sam I'd recommend checking it out
I did see Doctor What back in the day. I can tell you how the scene with the Garlic went. But before I do...
I don't recall too much sadly, I also saw Barry Potty but I can barely recall most of it. All I can really recall is a scene in which they were re enacting the flying car scene, but the whole stage was dark except for glowing pop up images. I recall Spongebob and Patrick actually showing up briefly during this. It was a weird scene and felt very non sequitur if I can recall...which isn't much.
However, I do recall the Garlic scene from Doctor What quite vividly, while I can't remember much else about it, I do remember how the Garlic scene went...
It starts off relatively calm with the two Brothers on stage, but when suddenly the Garlic shows up, and it gets quite intense and dramatic for a moment, with the Brothers trying to fight it...but then I recall the Crazy Frog version of Axel F playing, and the Garlic then gets taken off stage (the threat being pacified), with Barry then miming the Crazy Frog's noses before the scene ended.
Hope this helps. I recall people being quite disappointed the Garlic only showed up for that brief time. The stage shows were very fun though, especially the River Rother, which had a boulder get thrown onto the audience and they had to carry it around.
And without giving my location away, this was at the Wycombe Swan in Buckinghamshire.
Wow Garlic Wow, seeing the chuckle brothers in action is still an incredible memory! Appreciate you sharing! Definitely didn't know about that scene with Barry Potty 😂 amusing to think of a SpongeBob crossover!
The Garlic scene I wanna know now! was it in the first or second act? was it on the alien planet? or somewhere else? & was it just a Dalek prop? if so, what kind of model or did they actually build an original prop for the Garlic for the production?
That's one hell of an original way to get rid of a Dalek-like creature though! via the meme of Crazy Frog 🤣 I think I would run away from that as well!
@@ScribblestoScreen It occured near the end of the play. I don't recall if it was on an alien planet or not (Infact I can only recall a sort of english village backdrop weirdly for this part). Yes it was an actual Garlic prop, not just a regular Dalek.
In regards to the Harry Potty part, Spongebob only showed up for a second as a weird gag.
Just wondering, you think you can also discuss British dubs of US kid shows?
That would be rather interesting 🤔
Just a minor note, but does anyone think the ape in a Santa outfit reminds you of Rick Baker and Jim Carey's design for the Grinch? 39:08
Ah, Bodger and Badger. What a gem from my childhood. "MASH POTATO."
I want to point out that although running for 21 seasons and 292 episodes makes Chucklevision ONE OF the longest running BBC kids shows after Blue Peter, Grange Hill ran for 31 seasons and 601 episodes, from 1978 to 2008, beating Chucklevision by quite a lot.
I used to love watching The Raggy Dolls as a youngster during the 90’s, but never knew what was wrong with Sad Sack. As far as I could tell, he was just sad all the time. It’s only just now I found out what was wrong with him.
Whats the show at 00:46. Its so familiar
dream street from citv :)
Hey, Scribbles to Screen, what do you think of the lost media of the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood and Florida from before 2001? I'd love to see footage of Dark Torment and Universal Classic Monster Mania haunted houses to surface online one day (heck, there have been a few footage of Halloween Horror Nights at its first ever debut at the Florida park).
The thumbnail reminds me of that two sojaks pointing meme for some reason.
Interesting to hear teenage muntant hero turtles from someone who grew up with it.
I hope that you talk about the obscure Hit Entertainment and CBBC program, Sheeep because the 26th and last episode of the show (which is actually the 18th episode in production order) currently exists online as several clips on Vimeo.
I love watching Jungle Run
Alright. Who else came only because of thomas? Anyone? No..? Is it really just me...?
When You Said 99 Episodes Of Jungle Run It Reminded Me Of Caddicarus's Video On Simpsons SkateBoarding Of When Caddy Realize's That The Price Is Over 99 Dollars Just Something Silly I Notice While Watching Your Interesting Video On Lost British media
I remember Raggy dolls... kinda. I mean, the images are familier, but I kinda remember the theme song.
There is one British children's show that is lost called "Phillip's Wish". Very little info and no footage of the show was surfaced. It aired from 1993-1997 on CBBC (then Children's BBC) and it is unknown if it was released internationally or not. It'll be nice to talk about it briefly in volume 2 of this video.
The raggy dolls one looks so cool show :)
Something tells me alot of the original content for wallace and gromit went up in the fire along with all the original sets bud :'( still remember when that happened...
2 pieces of lost media for you to look out for aswell:
1) Why Don't You. the year they had the weird sentient TV that takes over the house.
2) CYBERZONE hosted by craig charles. Only 1 episode has been "found" and uploaded.
After watching this I do have a suggestion for another show if you ever do another vid like this: Wolf It. There's some very low quality YT vids out there but for the most part none of the eps exist any more apparently.
Surprised there was no mention that the original version of "The Wrong Trousers" hasn't been available for over 25 years.
Can you make a Brum lost media ?
Hi mate hope you are doing ok after your bike accident.👍
There’s a more recent show that has become lost media, strange hill high! This show is honestly gold but now there is nowhere to watch it other than UA-cam reuploads. I’m not sure why it was removed from bbc and prime, maybe because everyone who remembers the show was terrified of it
I used to watch that when I was younger, you can find it on other streaming sites tbf
omgggg nooo, i loved this show and was literally thinking about it the other day. i remember watching it so much a few years ago. i hope it gets found because it was very important in my childhood
Can you do video covering rock and rule and its troubled production which resulted in the original negatives for the original cut getting lost in a fire.
Here's one for volume 2. BBC's Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars (1996) that starred a young Reggie Yates. Very few people even remember it. There used to be episodes on UA-cam but they appear to have vanished now.
Any chance of something on Mortimer and Arabel? That was a favourite of mine back in the day.
There are quite a few episodes of Wind in the Willows that are missing from Britbox.😮
Sometimes I wish the Chuckle brothers were in it's a mad mad mad mad world.
I remebe when jungle run switched to statues.
I would really love to see the Raggy dolls episode Doctor Dolls !!!
ahhhh can't wait!!!
I've been searching for a show I watched years ago. Not sure if its Lost Media though. Don't remember too much about it but here's what I have so far.
It was centered around a bunch of kids (possibly teenagers)
They wind up inside a video game and either have to play through to escape or they're looking for someone else who got trapped in the game.
It was a mix of live action and animation, switching to animation when they were in the game
The animation style was similar to, but not the same as, Reboot
There was a Dungeonmaster type character that was helping them, he was just a floating head (I vaguely recall him wearing glasses but I'm not sure)
At some point, they have to go to Level Zero in order to progress
The only line of dialogue I remember is a joke the floating head tells at one point. Something about the smelliest sound is "dung" (get it? Coz dung sounds like dong? I know its an awful joke but that's all I can remember about the joke)
I think I watched it sometime around the late 90s, early 2000s but it may have been older.
Sorry, that's all I remember 😔
Do you remember a show called The Magic Key?
Yes, I do actually 😅 love that show when I was little
Here's a UK series that's lost media, Knight School.
Wow they had been failed with Thomas but Thomas made it in 80s finally.
The box of delights , too few episodes
i know a lot of the episodes of "Pipkins" has been lost, due to BBC being cheap
reminds me of the first three doctors of dr. who era. where they'd just wipe reels instead of preserving them.
1:15 that sounds like the tediz
there's a lot of UK shows I grew up watching on a UK channel (I'm American) and also because my mom was fan of British stuff so she'd buy old British movies and such.
I remember some of these clearly and then some of these were very vaguely familiar...and then some I've never seen as far as I remember...
Talk about wizards vs aliens
16:57 ninja not hero!
You sound like Richard Ayoade
"tooken off the air" It's "Taken off the air"
Coool
Tots tv or Rosie and Jim ❤
It's "by all means" not "all by means" 👍
Great video but tooken isn't a word.
Do Thomas the tank engine pleas
