Professor Poopsnagle & his Steam Zeppelin

What episodes of this long running series survive.

There was a YahooGroup dedicated to research of this programme. But all was wiped out by Verizon during the big purge.

Professor Poopsnagle & his Steam Zeppelin

Please can you help. We are trying to obtain the complete series of Poopsnagle. So far the following is on YouTube all from the same tapes.

3rd part, or episodes 9-12
4th part, or episodes 13-16
5th part, or episodes 17-20
6th part, or episodes 21-24 (last)

If anyone has the first episodes please let us know, especially in English. Thank you.

Meanwhile there are some inconsistneces in the reviews of the Show on websites. Some sites state that the no. of eps was 24 others 26 and even 39.

There's a petition here

I've been waiting for this for ages myself.

The movie versions (each group of four combined) are slightly abridged by the way.

On YT only snippets are available -

Professor Poopsnagle's Steam Zeppelin season 1 episode 2

Dr. Jose Calandre Garcia had been working on the theory of Mega- steam when he lost contact with his old friend Professor Poopsnagle. Determined to continue the work that Poopsnagle had originally begun, Garcia traveled to Australia in a hot air balloon in search of his old friend. Unbeknown to him, however, the wicked Count Sator had discovered his plan and sent his henchman Murk to shoot down the hot air balloon. Murk shot down the balloon, but the old doctor survived the crash and was rescued by some young children from a holiday camp in Secret Valley. When they heard the doctor's story of why he had come to Australia, they decided to help him in his quest to find the 6 minerals of Megasteam.

Everything's extant. It's in the National Film Archive in Australia I believe.

Edit: At one point a lot was on youtube, but they've been ID'ed and taken down.

That proves, that some entity is still conscious of owning the rights.

At least the signature tune and song appear to be officially uploaded ….

Doesn't look very official to me?

So, I'm guessing you are trying to get it released, rather than were thinking it was missing, right?
Two separate things.

Because they all seem to be extant.

Hardest 60 seconds work of my life, that:-

Funny extra detail: for some reason it was also very popular in Vietnam and Holland. And Spain, because of the professor character who was a Spanish actor. And some clips in French. When it was still 2/3rds on youtube, there were many Spanish, Dutch, and Vietnamese comments. That also explains why some Secret Valley episodes have Dutch subtitles. Cheap Russian dubs of SV also exist.

None of that is helping you see it, but still. It had clout around the world.
