Member Back to Top Post by Stephen Byers on You need to trawl YouTube and post a message to each uploader of MM for footage, and also add a comment to each video page stating what Disney has done. Yeah - and I bet Disney claims copyright for all retrieved footage. Maybe a flood of emails to the current CEO protesting their actions might make them realise what morons they employ. And releasing the news in a Press Release should be picked up by the international media.

Member Back to Top Post by paul carney on So Disney were the rights owners of this programme? What would have possessed them to wipe it in its entirety? I am not up to speed about how programmes are archived these days but I was under the impression that they could be stored digitally thereby negating the need for bulky video tape libraries? I have no memories of this programme as I was well past children's TV by then ,but my kids now in their early 30s remember it. I have often bemoaned to them that so much TV of my childhood years is gone forever whereas I would tell them that most of what they watch will always be available somewhere in archives,online etc. So it's good to know that not everything will have been lost ,despite Disney's cultural vandalism.

I guess someone worked out the storage costs against the amount of potential revenue & decided it wasn't worth keeping any more or even transferring to a digital format.
