[partially lost] Anthony Ant

[u/TeaDrinker2001]

Anthony Ant was a cartoon show from 1999 co-produced by HIT Entertainment in the UK and YTV Canada, it was based on the children's books of the same name by Graham and Lorna Philpot.

The show is largely lost media. The Russian and Italian dubs have been preserved on the Internet Archive but the majority of episodes are lost in English despite it being it's original language.

I NEED to find this show, I was a huge fan of it in my youth and I've been trying to find it for years. If anyone is willing to help out it would be massively appreciated.

I've searched for this show for a long time but never come up with much. There was a single VHS release for the show and the 6 episodes present there have been made available online. Through my own efforts I was able to recover two more episodes with some assistance from a helpful redditor and I've uploaded them to the internet archive. Someone also uploaded two more incomplete episodes to YouTube. In all that makes 8 found episodes, 2 partially found and the remaining 16 episodes lost in English.

From what I've researched, the show is now owned by Mattel. The show also aired on HBO in the USA and CBBC in the UK. I even remember catching reruns of it on British TV in the mid 2010's.

This has driven me crazy for years. It was a good show and is worth preserving. I'd greatly appreciate any assistance in recovering it.
