Lost media

Here's something I did last year - recovered something that was thought lost forever! Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, a wonderful cartoon that I've talked about many times before, had a redubbed version broadcast by Nick Jr in the UK, using British voices (it's generally agreed among TV people that very young children should be protected from hearing what foreigners sound like; from about the age of seven it becomes acceptable to hear the sound of Americans, Canadians and other undesirables).

These UK versions are immeasurably better than the originals, so it's a shame that they disappeared from our screens a while ago. The DVD release in this country for some reason used the original voices. So when I looked on YouTube to see if the few episodes missing from my taped-from-the-TV VHS collection were on there, I was pleased to see that they were - and it turned out there were some missing ones that nobody else had a copy of!

So I uploaded the missing ones, and now you can see a complete playlist of the entire series! Go and watch it, it's really great!

There was a page on Lost Media Wiki and everything, you know, and now it's been officially marked as Found!
