"I found it on the dark web" is the new "my uncle works at Nintendo"
My uncle works at the dark web
@@TheFernandinho my father works for nintendo into the dark web ... lol jk
A Day With SpongeBob Squarepants is surely just a money laundering scheme
i feel the need to make it real. shall animate it maybe
It was a way to make money. Not laundering
@@roxassora2706 I mean it could be. But I highly doubt the people surrounding it would be so hostile and secretive if it wasn't shady. And laundering would explain why they got so much money from so few donators
@@ISPwarrior Dude, it was. The creator said in an interview with another person, that it was just something to make a quick buck
@@roxassora2706 that's assuming they're not lying ¯\_(ツ)_/
But I don't know. I'm just saying the impression I got
I swear Go For A Punch is the one that bothers me the most because it actually sounds interesting, and its the most likely to be made-up
I know, it sounds so cool. I'm really hoping Team Saki can make it happen.
It is
Maybe the real “Go For a Punch” was the friends we made along the way
The biggest reason for Go For a Punch being fake is that there isn’t a single piece of evidence coming straight from Japan.
@@NolanCrossing it was bro😭😭
i love how clockman was thought to be scary but the actual short is just wholesome and fun.
True! Kids get scared by random stuff I think and by the time their older they probably remember things as way more creepy than they really were
Same with Cracks.
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 i actually found cracks pretty unsettling :/
@@8Kazuja8 that's what Attack of the Giant Vulture was to me. I remember it being so dark and frightening as a kid, and I think I only saw it a few times. Funny enough, that too was lost media for the longest time until I think 2013
Kids usually get scared from normal things and then memories betray you. From several lost media commercials in my country, once found, they’re nowhere as “creepy” as explained
I distinctly recall that 'Cracks" video, from Sesame Street, when I was a kid. I never thought it was scary--- in fact, I loved the idea of the cracks forming into imaginary animals... so much so, that I even asked my Mom if I could put cracks on my bedroom walls if I hit them with a hammer.
@@ginxxxxx Oddly conspiratorial.
I remember it too. I liked it as well.
There’s a lot of creepy stuff in older kids shows.
@@ginxxxxx lol who cares
@@ginxxxxx lol fuck the law, there's no real reason to keep it secret. also, the middle east has laws they're just shit ones and also a huge chunk of the mid east's problems are because of the US. what.
@@ProfessorYaoiI what did they say in the first place
“Until 4Chan got involved” is a sentence that can break universes
The funny thing about some lost or rare media is the fact that if it wasn’t lost or rare to begin with most people probably wouldn’t care about it in the first place for example The Mean Girls DS game or A Day With Spongebob SquarePants.
@Prayingmantis 211 I doubted anyone in that movie would care about that game.
Well yeah but I think that's also what makes it interesting in a odd way
I know if Toonami: Trapped in Hyperspace wasn't lost, I would still care about it. It's how I got my kink for New Zealander accents (Swayzak) and endo (you going inside TOM in the final stage.)
Yoooo it’s Stan Smith from 20th century era btw the CIA has been disbanded after the Creation of humanity’s government the UNDF in the year 2097 right now it is the year 2437 humanity’s under a galactic civil war against the Insurgency of Confederate Systems
We humans are curious creature, and whenever a mystery is presented, as innocuous as the source may be, we crave to find out everything about it. Sometime it gives you a glimpse of some alternate reality of what could've been, a possibility that might not affect the world in the long run, but different enough to garner your attention to think "what if?"
I really hate that feeling of being the only person who remembers something when you remember it so vividly that there's no way it wasn't real. I had that happen with a board game I remembered from my childhood where I could distinctly remember the art style, some of the art, the green button you pressed to roll an electronic die, etc. Thankfully for the sake of my sanity I managed to find it one day in my house. But none of my 3 siblings remembered it existing, and it made me feel crazy.
Whats It called???
@Something Studios It was something called "Giant Game Board Book" that contained 6 games within
@@cauapereira1019 It was something called "Giant Game Board Book" that contained 6 games within
Yeah I hate remembering something just vividly enough that you can recall certain stuff but can’t remember the name or anything, it’s made worse when you’re the only one that remembers it. I have that with this weird TV movie that aired on CBBC once around Christmas during my childhood that I frequently trail off trying to recall. It was about a family consisting of a kinda stupid and impulsive mother and her two daughters one being around 5 and the other being older and done with her mothers shit having to secretly live in a shop after their house burns down. I don’t remember the title except that I’m certain it began with an S and was the name of a security guard character in the movie who never smiled and the family were always trying to avoid, I remember there was a scene where the daughter had to do a nativity play at school and because her mother forgot to get her a costume for playing an Angel she ended up giving her a bee costume and she had to bullshit her way out of why she was a bee in the middle of the play and I remember it ended up ripping off Bad Santa as the movies climax was the family finding out the guys the shop hired to play Santa and his elf were thieves and they had to stop them from robbing the place on Christmas Eve
I remembered an old Wii game called Boom Blox and neither of my sisters believed me until I found old let's plays of it on UA-cam
Oh hey I saw the crack master at the gas station earlier, he was trying to fight the store clerk for stopping him from attempting to steal a propane gas bottle.
Lmao

PLEASE-
Oh did you see your uncle
The thing I love about the Clockman and Crackmaster searches is that they were remembered by those who were little kids at the time they saw them and were clearly spooked by those cartoons, so we wound up getting descriptions of the shorts warped by memories of being freaked out by them when they were kids. That way, when we finally found them, they turned out to be so much more mild than our imaginations filled in. Though, the Sally cartoon does look pretty damn freaky, but for different reasons. Hell, some of us found the "Evil Wizard" to be pretty chill and Sally to be a spoiled freaking brat that deserved what she got.
For some reason I feel that one day with spongebob is scarier than go for a punch, shit feels like some kind of money laundering scheme or other kind of scam and that people can get injured or worse for getting their nose stuck into it, or something.
Definitely agree. Something about it at least makes me uncomfortable. Go for a punch really doesnt sound that out of the norm compared to a lot of older hyper violent anime.
Unfortunately I pretty firmly believe Saki Sanobashi is fake. It’s literally a 4-Chan creepypasta
But the OP was proven to be a troll.
@Alexis the kangaroo Massoud Boyce De Vil really? How?
@@HeyJinx supposedly he went on reddit and said he was a troll but no idea if that was actually him or not
It's still a great story and even if it is fake people had fun while looking for it.
I agree.
I can’t describe how much I love the all the detail in the thumbnail.
That's funny you say that. Molly, my wife, usually makes the thumbnails and she adds a ton of detail. I always tell her no one is going to notice, but after reading your comment, I guess I'm wrong.
@@AllThingsLost Yeah, seeing the new thumbnails along with the new videos is always nice.
A Day With Spongebob was and still is one of my favorite searches in all of lost media.
yeah it's definitely one of my faves too, especially considering it's part of what made me gravitate towards lost media research.
Out of all of them, it is probably THE search.
I like to think we'll find pink morning cartoon one day too.
@@De19thKingJulion no man, not that, that shit's fucking scary man
@@De19thKingJulionFun fact about me : I was somewhat in the search of the pink morning cartoon but I gave up when I heard the clock master because The story of Clock master was more mysterious to me so I gave up on the pink morning cartoon but here the pink morning cartoon ua-cam.com/video/yspEI8QO2FM/v-deo.html
I always liked the smaller searches, like ones with only a few people. It shows a small group dedication to a search. Also, I think an interesting video would be on wrestling lost media, since there's a bunch of interesting (and tragic) lost media involved with wrestling.
what’s the massive difference between a small group dedication and a larger group dedication?
@@misseselise3864 im guessing a tighter knit community, more dedicated people, etc
Oh man, wrestling lost media is crazy. It’s rabbit holes leading to rabbit holes and so on.
@@misseselise3864 you get a lot more niche topics, stuff you wouldn’t have even thought about being lost.
@@joshhale9355 there’s a ton of stuff no one talks about either. Like in 1998, during Halloween Havoc the live feed cut off before the last match, the footage of the last match is found but footage of the live cut off is lost
Day 1: Of Asking All Things Lost to do a Video About 10 Pieces of Lost Art
Lost art is something I've wanted to do for a long time. It will definitely happen.
@@AllThingsLost Glad to know that :D
@@AllThingsLost can you do 10 pieces of lost LEGO media and lost Nintendo media
@@societyofcriminals that would be a good idea for a lost LEGO sets video.
The lost media community always makes me impressed
Man, Reddit will give awards to anything.
yep
Literally will go on a subreddit for fights and find comments with awards clowning people being beat up while down reddit is scummy
On the r/sakisanobashi someone posted “saki sanobashi deez nuts” and they got a lot of awards
@@lamebright That doesn't even make sense!
I don’t use Reddit, but sometimes I’ll just scroll through Subreddits on my favorite games or shows, like Sims or Pokémon, then an add will come up with like 15 awards. Why tf would you waste awards on ADS??
I have a theory for Go For a Punch;
While there is still speculation on whether or not it is real, a lot of clues from both the original post and the 'confession' post has made me think that the original poster was playing around BUT their inspo was based on real series. The title 'Go for a Punch' calls to the original title of Gunbuster which original Japanese title is translated to 'Aim for the Top!'. The over the top gore, old animation style also brings to mind 'The Curse of Kazuo Umezu' (which you showed in the video) which had a story about several girls ending up trapped in a haunted house only to be dismembered by the spirit inside as well as their own friend.
It's POSSIBLE that Saki Sanobashi was a creation based on a combination of many old school and influential anime series but to seem more 'deep web' the creator pulled out the most familiar aspects of them and used them where they felt it sounded the best.
Cuz their whose clues lost clues
This guy could literally be talking about the most disturbing things on the internet and still say “Oh hi there!” in the happiest way possible
Even though the OP said he made Saki Sanobashi up, I still respect them for leading 4Chan to search for and eventually recreate something that might not even exist.
4chan is easily one of the best places to solve mysteries IMO.
He was proven to be a troll. So he's not really the OP.
@@alexiskuwata Proof?
@@alexiskuwata there's just as much evidence that it was the op
@@San-li9ml you could get a lot of videos as a proof just search it on yt
This might seem like an odd concept, but could you do a video on lost media prevention, or the ways people preserve media?
I really love that idea. It would give me an excuse to talk to Dycaite, and other Lost Media veterans.
@@AllThingsLost can you do tutorials on how to back up CDs or Preserve Games ?
Download them shits
I am really glad you included Dr. Who in here, its not obscure at all, but it is a massive loss of immensely popular media.
The Clockman and Cracks were so satisfying to finally see again. I grew up watching Pinwheel in the 80s and I always half remembered it, and it's great to see people working to find and archive things like this.
Did clockman scare you?
@@toongamer2810 not that I can recall. I had a big storybook with pictures done in a very similar art style (I think the artist was Czech) and I loved that. I wish I knew where that book was actually.
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 I just found out about this around a year ago. Clockman is terrifying to me. The way he comes up the stairs and steals the girl, how uncanny the girl looks, and how he comes out of the clock. It made me fear clocks for awhile, not to mention his scary appearance.
Also nice Jane profile picture
Man that thumbnail is a piece of art
Thanks. Molly, my wife, makes the thumbnails and I always tell her no one is going to notice all the little details she puts in them. Sounds like I was totally wrong.
I find it absolutely fascinating to hear that pinwheel is such a massively lost show. When I was a kid, pinwheel was broadcast a lot. I mean A LOT. It was always on whenever I was home sick from school. and since my living room TV was constantly tuned to Nickelodeon whenever I was home, I saw a shit ton of pinwheel. I even recorded a whole tape of it once in slp, but I unfortunately later recorded over it for a TV broadcast of back to the Future in sp. So sadly that recording is gone.
One thing to remember re: Doctor Who is that the destruction of old episodes was not just the BBC being shortsighted jerks. Per older agreements with the actors' and other talent and behind-the-scenes technician unions, they were limited to a specific number of re-runs of a recorded broadcast, after which they had to get everybody back in to redo the show from scratch. That meant that after the allowed number of reruns was used up, the Beeb really did have a useless brick taking up space from their viewpoint. Fortunately, those agreements were revised and the junking policy was able to be stopped.
I always am skeptical of lost media that no one else seems to remember. So Saki Sanobashi is probably fake, and the explanation of why it's fake seems perfectly reasonable. My day with Spongebob also seems fishy to me. Why would anyone allegedly involved be so hostile or unwilling to talk about it? Seems like an unlikely response to such an inquiry. The doctor who episodes intrigue me the most as they were destroyed by the BBC themselves for a show they still make and has a huge cult following. I really hope most of those tapes are one day found!
I'm not sure if it exactly counts as lost media, but I'm really interested in The Most Mysterious Song On the Internet. The full song is apparently found, but nobody knows who made it. Whang has a good series of videos describing the search so far.
It's what the Lost Media Wiki would classify as unidentified media - not lost media, although they're often conflated.
we've gotten to the fact it was someone involved witg Statues in Motion :)
A Day with Spongebob Squarepants is what got me into lost media! I now frequently research lost media as a hobby!
It genuinely warmed my heart to hear that your wife helps with your videos, providing narration and creating thumbnails (the last point being something I read in another comment).
Surprised this did not include London After Midnight. That movie is the great white whale for a LOT of horror fans.
I love the search behind the Doctor Who episodes. It’s fascinating seeing the different ways they’re getting their content back.
I also feel Saki Sanobashi will lead to nothing. At this point, it made a very fun internet mystery to follow but that’s about it. I’d LOVE to be proven wrong, however.
I remember that "Cracks" short. I'm pretty sure I saw it being played on Sesame Street in Mexico around 1993 - 1995. I completely forgot about it but now I remember having watched it when I was around 4yo.
Its funny but, I remember seeing the "Cracks" short in the late 90s early 00 when I was growing up in "Plaza Sesamo" which is the Spanish version of "Sesame Street" heck when I fist saw it in one of your videos I was like "Wait a minute, I know this short" and it brought back a lot of fun memories of me watching it when I was a kid.
Also, about the missing 93 Doctor Who Episodes, I have a theory that they might be copies here in the Dominican Republic of some of those Doctor Who episodes, probably rotting away in a library of the few channels we had back in the 60s
You sound a lot like LSuperSonic Q, and that’s a compliment because he’s one of my favorite lost media youtubers.
Thanks, I love his videos. He was one of the reasons I got into Lost Media.
@@AllThingsLost you’re very welcome.
you sound so hype in this, really shows ur passion
Right, I can’t stand when the narrators of these videos sound uninterested.
I have never done or participated in one of this researches, but i bet it feels just like when you loose a small eraser in school in a classroom with white dirty floor...
You just stand there... Looking... And hoping you can see it...
I miss my eraser...
"the crack master" made me laugh way too hard
There is a mexican tv show called 'El chavo del ocho' (Roughly translate to 'the boy from the 8th'). It's a show about the shennaningans of a 8 year old (played by a man in his 70's) homeless boy who lives in a village. It EXPLODED here in Brazil, wich was still on air until last year, making it stay 49 years on air, non-stop. It's loved by everyone of all ages here, and it's incredibly funny. It's notorious for it's remakes (They had maybe 4, 5 versions of some episodes, sometimes with different characters) and it's lost episodes.
It's worth checking it out.
Chavo also has an animated tv series as well. Its first season was dubbed into English by 4Kids Actors.
Lovely video as always!
also, idea: 10 Pieces of Lost Media that Never Existed
Do we know the name of the BBC employee that intentionally destroyed all that media? I've been making myself custom t-shirts lately and I'd really like to get one that says SUCKS
Same I just wanna talk to his knee caps for a second
I'm stealing a time machine and saving some lost media.
@@Bacony_Cakes That makes me hope the guy that invents the time machine was inspired by Doctor Who and uses his inaugural mission to go save those tapes, haha. And get me that employees name for my shirt.
But what if it’s a bootstrap paradox and by going back in time to save the tapes it ends up freaking that guy out and he decides to start wiping them so no more time travellers can come back to steal the tapes?
@@mrcritical6751 fuck. i don't think any of us thought about that
Just wanted to say it’s so cool how new UA-camrs like you can still blow up
Thank you for getting me interested in lost media along with all the other channels who made me aware of the community! I've been involved in finding and archiving obscure musicals even before I really knew how many people were invested in lost media, and now I've joined the effort to revive the partially-found cancelled Broadway musical Rag Dolly!
My Personal List:

5: Hitogata
4: Go For A Punch
3: Cracks
2: A Day With Spongebob Squarepants
1: Clockman
Mike, I love your lost media videos, and I'd love to have more videos like this where you tell a more detailed story of a hunt. I especially love those where the media is either found or there's some kind of conclusion to the story, I find them very satisfying!
Hey man! I've been a long time viewer and an interesting idea I've been stewing on for a few days could be a series where viewers submit various lost media that may not be well known enough to warrant a full video. I can think of many things that would be considered lost media but can't seem to get a good search going. Having a series where viewers can submit lost media they're aware of but haven't been given the spotlight seems like a fun way to both bring more attention to lost media as a while and even help the search of said submitted lost media
Without watching I shall predict all 5
1. Clockman
2. Cracks
3. A Day with Spongebob Squarepants
4. Doctor Who Lost Episodes
5. Cry Baby Lane
4. The rest of Mcu Fanboy2008's comment

What’s Cry Baby Lane? I’ve heard of the other 4, but not that.
I think it would be cool if you talked about old Roblox clients sometime. The oldest one we have is from March 2007, and it was literally discovered a few days ago when I’m writing this. Anything from the earlier days is pretty much lost.
I spent so long with the search team for Clockman. I remember late nights translating shorts from French into English the week before we found the thing on UA-cam. I definitely think that’s what blew the wiki up. It’s definitely creepy.
Hito Gata 人 形 means human shape. It's a supposed commercial about the dangers of railway crossings. The text on screen at 0:38 reads "On earth, every two seconds somebody dies".
If you search 踏み切りヒトガタ you will find information in Japanese. This is in my wheel house and I can read Japanese so I suppose I should make a video about it.
I’ve subscribed.
It seems a lot of lost media is from other countries which makes it that much harder to locate.
love your vids man, keep'em coming!
15:23 the picture on the left bottom right corner, under the spongebob with his hands in the air looks like a good watch lmao.
I'm glad you liked my Saki Sanobashi intro to use in your video! Keep up the good work!
I really love your videos! Keep up the good work! 😀
also thank you for talking about Saki Sanobashi, i have been on the search for that lost media.
The day with Spongebob one always trips me up because I remember watching a commercial for it on nick.
Thank you for the kind words ^__^ Great video!
Can you help us find brainsurge episodes?
You're a legend
Been really enjoying your channel. I’m sure you’ve thought about covering the many, many lost films from the silent era, which is a daunting task, but if you’re ever interested, I think 1925’s The Phantom of the Opera would be a really interesting one. Much of it is missing, much of it isn’t, and the regularly seen version today is a mysterious frankenstein version that we still don’t know where it came from.
A very big part of me wants to create things like these and then bury them, so to speak. Upload screenshots to be found, partial clips, download links... Just for there to be more fun to be had for future sleuths. I suppose that would just be an ARG-lite then, haha.
Excellent video! Thanks for uploading!
Although, with some of these, I'm skeptic if the lost media was even real.
First time viewer, immediate subscriber. I absolutely love what you're doing with this video, I'm a bit of a lost media addict. I'll be keeping an eye out for any lost video game videos! ✌️😎
Your videos are really interesting! Keep going!
what is it with people that find lost media sending it to collectors anonymously. it's like they think they're a mysterious anime loner badass guy.
No joke I remember watching a episode of Sesame Street with Cracks in it when I was little. I’m only 16
I remember thinking the short was really cool
@@raftyfins I dunno it probably aired as a short separate from Sesame Street on PBS or something
anyone else get really happy when this channel uploads?
You should do "Lost Chuck E. Cheese's/Pizza Time Theatre Showtapes and Showtape Segments"
I'm really glad Go for a Punch doesn't exist. Based on only the description, it really disturbed me and made me super anxious and depressed man.
I remember watching the clockman as a smaller person, freaky as hell at the time.
Love your videos Mike!
Thank You!
Idea: Lost media that may not exist
Jorge did that.
Saki
That’s certainly an interesting concept. One that’s definitely been covered, no doubt.
I think the Cracks secrecy was all a ploy for someone's own entertainment. I definitely believe the anonymous figure who sent the tape and made the contract up was laughing it up, and he probably found the VHS in his basement because his mom recorded hours of Sesame Street or something. Being able to tease the guy who sought after it and start an internet firestorm was probably the best kind of fun, and basically immortalized the lost media search.
As for the production mysteries, there have been so many lost episodes of different variety shows (like Sesame Street) at this point that I'm not surprised production was weird and rushed. It could have very well been made by a bunch of nobodies, or the people who have been contacted are just playing it up for some extra hype. All in all, amazing video and awesome searches.
I love the cracks detail in telescope. Great job.
Thanks. My wife, Molly, did the thumbnail. I told her no one would notice the cracks. I was definitely wrong.
@@AllThingsLost her work did not go unnoticed, you better tell her she did a very lovely job!

Happy Birthday!!!!
One time on a forum, we were discussing the once-plethora of cartoons based on live-action shows. They used to be legion, and some of them were fairly out there from the premise of the shows they were based on. So as a joke, I made one up called 'Mary's Major Mysteries', a cartoon based on 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' since the MTM family of shows seemed like the only ones not to get an adaptation or some sort of parody. My premise was, Mary and the cast were teen journalism students being driven around in Lou Grant's journalism school-bus-school, searching for 'Scoops', which at least once Lou denounced on the actual show, feeling that 'scoops' was something the Daily Planet got on the old George Reeves show. I even told a story of how Mary's divorce from Grant Tinker tied up the rights as to why it was never rerun or seen again. I think people caught on in three to five days. I now wonder if my details either weren't thorough enough or vague enough so that people filled in the gaps. If 'Go For A Punch' was real, I could see it existing.
Thanks for posting this.
I don't even get the point of destroying master tapes. Like what do you even get from doing that??
@@killiankeane7259 Okay. That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
So I’ve been looking for an old caperucita roja animation (little red riding hood - in Spanish only). It was used in my 6th grade Spanish class. It has been a LONG time as this was in the mid to late 80s and it was already old. If anyone could find it, I’d be amazed! It was very creepy and I loved it a lot. I think I only saw it once, maybe twice in school.
This is great content, thank you for your work!
You should do a video on lost puppetry/puppet shows next!
Lol, I remember seeing Cracks on TV3 in NZ when I was in my late-teens (sometime prior to 2012)
Lost media is a great way for people to come together and find an equal goal!
10/10 thumbnail 👌
The master tapes for Megadeth's album "Countdown To Extinction" ("The Symphony of Destruction" album) were lost for a couple of decades because when they were recorded Lead Guitarist Marty Friedman labeled all the tape cases in Japanese and everyone forgot. They were only found because Bassist David Ellefson remembered it about 20 years later after Dave Mustaine called him to see if he knew where they were.
I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing at the term "crack master"
One could even say that it cracks me up
Thank goodness for all the fans and obsessive folks who try to keep cool, interesting and weird stuff alive. I wish a high-quality copy (or original) of every single movie, tv show, book, comic, video game, song/album, website, or work of art ever made could survive for all to enjoy for generations to come. Sadly, some things will disappear forever.
I lived in the Czech Republic 1998-2003 and became a big fan of their animation and children's programming. Every night around 7:00PM they had a program called Večerníček that showed all this stuff
The Cracks search certainly has stood out of stories I have watched videos on and I think the piece wonderful and while I can see why it was pulled, it was a shame because it was so perfect for Sesame Street and I would have loved to have seen it myself in the early '80s. However the search for the lost Dr Whos is very personal as I am a Whovian who grew up watching the show on PBS. Knowing even then there were shows that I would never see because they were lost felt quite painful a concept. While sort of lost because it was never finished, I was massively over joyed when BBC America was set to air the animated filling out of Shada a story that as a Douglas Adams fan, I practically longed to see fulfilled. The effort of the BBC to continue the search is a testament to the show.
This is one of the more interesting UA-cam videos I've seen
#OhHiThere 0:00
I like your content and your attitude towards lost media. Some creators in the scene consider things lost media even though they are confirmed to exist and there is a canadian DVD, but it's too expensive... so... everything not on youtube is lost? :D
Really appreciate your more nuanced and sober look on some of those things.
Slight correction or addition regarding Doctor Who:
With some exceptions all episodes of this era of Classic Who was shot multicam on videotape which makes those tapes the original master. Those tapes were bulky and extremely expensive, but they were reusable. So after a story was aired in its entirety, the tapes were more useful to record new shows on then to keep them. After all, re-runs weren't really a thing yet and there were contracts in place that actively prevented reruns after a period of time. Actors feared to be payed once for a performance, that could be shown over and over again and so their union negotiated those contracts, to keep their livelihood. So, after a year has passed since the original airing of an episode, the BBC would have to negotiate payment for all actors involved to show an episode again... so... just make new ones instead.
Those contracts however allowed shipping those episodes to other countries where they could be shown on TV for a longer period of time. And since you would not want to ship your expensive spools of tape around the world and most countries wouldn't even been able to play them anyways, they tranfered the episodes to a more universal format: FILM!
The process they used is essentially a camera pointing at a screen, but the process is really elaborated and the results are great for the most part. So the BBC had all relevant episodes on film to make copies for distribution and could reuse the videotapes. Win-win
The problem was, that they weren't very organized. The two departments you mentioned all had a reason to get rid of their stock. It just wasn't a good one. One department was responsible for videotape and they wanted to reuse their stock. After all... they made copies to film and gave them to the other folks. Those other folks however had a big warehouse filled with film stock and needed space. Film is not reusable but it takes space. Their reasoning for destroying many classic tv shows was "These are not the originals anyway. These are copies for distribution. The originals are the videotapes" without knowing that those were wiped already...
Damn, Cracks went from Lost Media to reverse Lost Media. We HAVE the footage, but we have no idea how or who made it besides knowing it was a sesame street cartoon.
IDK if it is because I am playing Umineko and I have the whole WTC series on my mind RN but that "Go for a punch" stuff sounds like a Gore anime spoof just like the person claiming to be the OP said but the "Original" japanese name even sounds like something that could be the name of a Higurashi arc. Most if not all arcs in that end with "-ashi" (Onikakushi-hen, minagoroshi-hen, watanagashi-hen, etc)
Sakisanobashi-hen might be the lost 9th episode that Ryukishi made some notes of but couldn't finish since he couldn't connect it to any other one like he likes to do and wasn't indeph enough to be made into a Console exclusive arc (Also Kai already had all the answers at the time before Gou and Sotsu).
I'm just playing with an idea that popped into my head. Probably the person who made the post using the name "Go for a punch" just had an idea that there was a lot of fucked up shit in japanese media (Mostly OVAs) in the 80s and the other person gave it a WTC sounding title by accident.
I’m surprised that the “farming game where you kill your wife” isn’t on here
