True,Charles.
You've no idea how many goes it took to fix it.
I shouldn't have written "tell me I'm wrong"!

I wish lostshows would also list the episodes that DO exist as well. It makes it very difficult sometimes when trying to work out stuff, having to find a complete list from elsewhere than comparing them etc. Can it not be made to do that? It'd make it a lot more user-friendly. |

That would make it pointless for Kaleidoscope to be selling tv episode guides. Everyone would just be taking the information from lost shows and the guides would be obsolete.

Might it be referring to the programmes in their original format? The BBC always (as far as I remember), show two stories linked by Arthur Lowe's "what a lot of Mr Men there are..." musings, so maybe it's these versions that are missing?

The "Arthur Lowe humming" links were intact on the VHS releases in the 1990s and I believe have been seen on DVD since.

Every edition of 'Mr Men' survives, but the first 13 episodes made were originally (December 1974 - March 1975) shown in a 5-minute slot, shared with 'Teddy Edward'.
From July-September 1976 onwards, a further 13 episodes were added, with two episodes now sharing a 15-minute slot, and it was at this point that the "Arthur Lowe humming" links came about. The episodes listed as junked are the episodes in the original five-minute format, but every one of these episodes was added to one of the new 15-minute programmes, so nothing is actually missing - the specific form in which they were shown the first time is gone, but they all exist in another form and in equal quality. If that makes sense! So "junked" in this context is misleading, because it only applies in the most pedantic sense.
Later on, of course, some of the original Arthur Lowe-narrated editions were reused again in the combined 'Little Misses and the Mister Men', with John Alderton & Pauline Collins narrating the new 'Little Misses' animations - which themselves were, later still, shown on their own.

Thanks,Robin.So that means that in theory,they could be reconstructed? Were there any unique opening/closing credits for the individual 5-minute episodes,do you know?
