Please share this video far and wide, anywhere and with anyone you think could help us find the remaining Pink Windmill episodes. VHS tapes from the 80s are reaching the age when they're no longer reliable, so now really is the time to get those childhood recordings digitised.

I have got a list of all missing “Grotbags” episodes, including their plots here: In no particular order; ‘As Nice As Pie’ To win a competition in the Bagshire gazette Grotty and Dorris make magic pies. One pie will turn Dorris extra nice and the other will make Grotbags extra nasty but "which witch pie is which witch pie?" soon after eating them Dorris turns dangerous belting Grotbags with a feather duster and Grotty scarpers so Colin and Norman consume the rest of the pies. A reporter comes calling and a nasty Colin hurls himself at the man to which Norman ends up being given the prize for being the nicest person in Bagshire much to his disgust and Grotbags shock. ‘The Revenge of Hogzilla’ When bringing in the milk and spell bottles, Dorris mixes them up and thinking she has given Horris hedgehog his milk she has actually given him size expanding spell and hedgehog grows into a giant and goes on rampage. Grotbags saves the day by using her own homemade spell to undo the ready made bottled one. She shrinks Horris back down but forgets about how the sparrows like to peck the tops off her so-called "milk" bottles! ‘Bat Fishing By J.R. Hartfly’ Colin throws a wild rave with his bat friends when Grotbags is on holiday.On Grotbags return she is convinced by her housemates Colin has Rabies, only to discover his foaming at the mouth is actually cake mix from Dorris's baking! ‘Nightmare On Grotty Street’ (Possibly ep1) Grotbags Niece PD comes to stay when Grotbags is having nightmares. ‘Miss Maple Syrip Solves It’ The gang are playing a murder mystery game and it's the 83rd time Dorris has won! Grotbags is upset as she wants to be like one of her heroes Miss Maple Syrip, a super sleuth detective. Soon after Dorris's feather wax goes missing Grotbags sees a perfect chance to solve the crime and prove that she is just as good at solving crimes. ‘Blind Fate’ Dorris joins a dating agencey to find a soul mate. Feeling sorry for Dorris, Colin pretends to be the dodo(?) of her dreams by sending her love letters. ‘Grotty Hood Prince of Tea Leaves’ Grotbags resorts to burgulary after loaning money from gangster ghouls to pay for her new dress. ‘The Ginger Fear Plant’ A ginger beer plant hoards Grotbags and the houseguests hostage in the cellar.After buying the plant from a gypsy Grotty sees a way to getting free ginger beer, only to discover the plants may be cursed and will have Grotbags making ginger beer forever! ‘The Teddington Yeti’ On a dark stormy night after Grotbags sends her poor gang on a picnic they return home soaked and to frighten them even more Grotbags tells them a ghost story. They one by one dissappear and Grotbags is convinced a yeti has followed them from the mountains so she offers herself as bait to the beast. ‘Tissue Tissue All Fall Down’ Dorris challenges Grotbags to build a better card house. Grotty resorts to cheating and places a sneezing on Colin so he will sneeze down Dorris's card house. The spell however is so strong Colin sneezes the house roof in and during a thunder storm the gang get soaked. That’s all I could find!

Awesome finding! It makes my heart a little warmer when we get new updates of any PWK material. Hopefully the remaining episodes will be found, too. As hard as it looks, we should keep our hopes up. Do you think any of the Pattison kids still possess recordings of their episodes? Maybe they are harder to reach out cuz I think there are not that much information about them (?). I'm not sure. But as always, thank you for your incredible work through the years, VideotapeFTW and thank you for sharing the PWK content with us.

Thank you for your _very_ kind words! I think you're right - the best chance of finding home recordings of the first series in particular is if one of the Kids who was in it still has them on tape. After all, what sort of a parent _doesn't_ record their little darling when they're performing on the telly? The problem is we know next to nothing about the Pattison dancers, so we're basically waiting for one of them to find us and volunteer their tape, and that hasn't happened yet. If you can think of any way to reach them or spread this video in general, please do.

@@VideotapeFTW this may come as a shock to you, but the chances of this are highly common. For example, back in December last year, a KZitemr with 1000 subscribers at the time made a video about a popular lost song, gaining 730 views within 9 hours, and one of them solved it within that time limit, after searching something using the “before:{year}” technique. Considering you have a higher following and a more common subject on your channel, the steaks are always raised high. Never lose hope! Also, I’m still searching myself, and still have hope of finding at least a snippet before the end of the year. We can do this!

True, I suppose it's all about trying to build some momentum and hoping to be fortunate enough for the right 'Lost Media' community to come across this video and be motivated enough to run with it. I'm 100% convinced that there are home recordings of all these episodes out there somewhere - but it's like looking for a needle in a country full of haystacks. Thanks for keeping up the search yourself - every little bit goes a long way.
