Hey there. I am SpaceManiac888, a British user on the Lost Media wiki. I primarily focus on writing articles regarding British media, professional wrestling, robot combat and anything that peaks my interest.

Created articles

Number	Title	Date of completion	Notes
1	Worms Battle Rally (lost builds of unfinished 3D kart game; 2003)	2 July 2015	A rather obscure cancelled spin-off of the Worms series, which was assumed to have been a vehicular combat karting game.
2	Robot Wars (partially found unaired or partially aired battles of BBC gameshow; 1998-2017)	2 July 2015 (updated 4 February 2021)	Originally focusing exclusively on Hypno-Disc vs TX-108, now details every missing unaired battle that did not warrant a separate article about them.
3	Top Gear (unaired segments of BBC TV series; 2002-2015)	3 July 2015	Collection of binned or unfinished segments of Top Gear. I stated 2002-2015 not only to distinguish from the older version of Top Gear, but also the series aired from 2016 onwards.
4	Top Gear - Series 22: Episode 10 (cancelled episode of TV show; 2015)	24 August 2015	The unfinished episode whereby Jeremy Clarkson was so unhappy, he punched a producer over food.
5	BattleBots (lost build of unreleased GameCube/PlayStation 2 game based on combat TV series; 2003)	21 November 2015	Almost completed robot combat game based on the gameshow of the same name. Near the top of my "most-wanted" lost media, since prototypes have been sold before...
6	Robot Wars (lost MTV pilot of British robot combat gameshow; 2000)	5 March 2016	This pilot would lead to the American spin-off, Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors on TNN.
7	Racing Arrows (partially found Formula One TV series; 2001)	19 August 2016	Technically not the author on this one, but I suspect it would have been deleted for not meeting quality standards had I not intervened, so there we go!
8	Robot Wars Revealed (partially found BBC Choice spin-off of robot combat gameshow; 1998)	25 May 2017	Victim to the lack of digital TV viewers back in the day.
9	Grand Prix 4 (lost build of cancelled Xbox port of PC Formula One racing game sequel; 2002)	6 June 2017	Xbox port of one of my favourite PC games.
10	Robot Wars: Series 8 (lost unaired pilot of BBC gameshow; 2016)	18 June 2017	Another lost Robot Wars media article I have written, and the most recent lost Robot Wars media I believe.
11	Robots Revenge (lost Discovery robot combat documentary series; 2001)	9 July 2017	My tenth article was on one of the more obscure lost robot combat television media.
12	WWF In Your House 8: Beware Of Dog (lost untelevised wrestling PPV matches; 1996)	15 July 2017	Lost media focusing on when the WWF suffered a powercut to their PPV feed!
13	The TNT Show (lost unaired Michael Jackson sketch; 2009)	26 August 2017	Wrote about this article thanks to knowing about it from a YouTube video.
14	Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors: Season 1 (found TNN robot combat gameshow; 2001)	2 September 2017	My fifth Robot Wars article, focusing on lost battles that were eventually found not long after this article was created!
15	Robot Wars: The Kick-Off (lost BNN robot combat special; 2001)	23 September 2017	My sixth Robot Wars article, focusing on an obscure Dutch Robot Wars special, broadcast before Series 1.
16	Southern Television hijacking (lost television hijack; 1977)	15 January 2019	Like many, I believed this was already found. However, my research indicates the versions on YouTube are actually just recreations. Hence, I wonder whether any recordings of the actual event still remain.
17	BBC News Guy Kewney interview (lost unaired interview footage; 2006)	23 February 2020	The infamous "wrong Guy" also gave us some lost media to find. Became a Featured Article at some point.
18	Beat the Crusher (partially found Sky One gameshow; 1998)	20 June 2020	Based on the only episode available, it is not a great show.
19	The Jeremy Kyle Show (lost unaired Steve Dymond episode of British daytime talk show; 2019)	17 December 2020	My first NSFL article, concerning a tragedy that unfortunately was bound to occur at some point during the show's run.
20	Grand Prix 3 (lost build of cancelled Dreamcast port of PC Formula One racing game; 2001)	18 December 2020	I fondly remember playing the released PC version of this game. Certainly one to play, if you are an F1 fan.
21	F-1 World Grand Prix III (lost build of cancelled Nintendo 64 Formula One racing game; 2000-2001)	19 December 2020	Originally could not confirm the game's existence, but with some help from another Lost Media Wiki user, this is one game that theoretically could be available at some point. Became a Featured Article in January 2021.
22	F1 Racing Championship 2 (lost build of cancelled PC/PlayStation 2 Formula One game; 2001)	26 December 2020	There were just so many F1 games back in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Probably would not have been a success compared to competitors like EA's F1, Sony's PlayStation series, and Grand Prix 4.
23	Screwed: The Bret Hart Story (lost unfinished wrestling documentary film; 2005)	3 February 2021	First film article I have written, concerning Bret Hart potentially being "buried" by other wrestlers had he not decided to work with WWE on an alternative documentary! Became a Featured Article in April 2021.
24	1995 Robot Wars UK Open (partially found rejected robot combat TV show pilot; 1995)	15 April 2021	Yes, another article based on Robot Wars! Not sure if there is much else Robot Wars lost media to document, though never say never! Anyhow, this rejected pilot paved the way for Robot Wars' dominant UK arrival.
25	Telecrime (lost early BBC crime drama; 1938-1939; 1946)	18 April 2021	First crime television show according to Guinness World Records, thought it would be worth writing an article on it, even if there is no chance of recovery.
26	Cook's Night Out (lost early BBC cooking show; 1937)	18 April 2021	First cooking television show, and the start of me writing about Marcel Boulestin's programs!
27	Dish of the Month (lost early BBC cooking show; 1937)	18 April 2021	I believe Guinness World Records accidentally claimed this was the first cooking show. Close, but no cigar.
28	Marcel Boulestin television shorts (lost early BBC programs; 1937-1939)	18 April 2021	Collection of Boulestin shows that were too small to warrant separate articles.
29	Foundations of Cookery (lost early BBC cooking show; 1939)	18 April 2021	Finally, we complete the Boulestin collection, with his last television show. He never got to make another one, following the Second World War and his passing in 1943.
30	The Wasp's Nest (lost early BBC television adaptation of Agatha Christie short story; 1937)	19 April 2021	The only televised adaptation Agatha Christie herself wrote. Did she or did she not dislike television soon afterwards? Who knows!
31	Catch-As-Catch-Can Wrestling (lost early BBC televised professional wrestling matches; 1938-1939; 1946-1947)	20 April 2021	Televised professional wrestling starts here. Lovely.
32	The Blood Red Tape of Charity (lost Universal silent short propaganda drama film; 1913)	23 April 2021	One of my most sought after silent films, just because of the context behind it.
33	Arsenal vs Arsenal Reserves (lost footage of early BBC televised football match; 1937)	29 April 2021	Started out documenting professional wrestling, so it only makes sense to do so for football too!
34	Bryant & May (lost early matches commercial; 1896)	1 May 2021	The first commercial, what can I say? Piece of history here.
35	England 0-1 Scotland (partially found international football match; 1938)	1 May 2021	Not happy with the result as an Englishman, ha ha. Still, a worthy piece of history that I am glad has some available footage attached to it.
36	Hyde Park Corner (partially found early celluloid actuality film; 1889)	1 May 2021	Arguably the most important article I have written on this Wiki. A lot of mystery surrounds it though, especially when it comes to the title alone! Hopefully, those film frames are legitimate.
37	Bret Hart-Hulk Hogan photoshoot (lost professional wrestling promotional photos; 1993)	1 May 2021	Detail photos meant for a slobberknocker of a Summerslam 1993 fight! If, you know, they actually went ahead with this match.
38	1937 FA Cup Final (partially found footage of football match; 1937)	2 May 2021	The first competitive football match to be broadcast on television!
39	1938 FA Cup Final (partially found footage of football match; 1938)	3 May 2021	The first fully televised FA Cup Final. Preston North End notably appeared in the first two televised Finals, redeeming itself here.
40	1939 FA Cup Final (partially found footage of football match; 1939)	3 May 2021	Portsmouth were champions for seven years thanks to World War 2.
41	First Aid (lost early BBC medical show; 1937)	9 May 2021	An obscure medical documentary series, possibly the first of its kind.
42	Robert Budd Dwyer's Final Speech (partially found footage of press conference; 1987)	9 May 2021	Of all the lost media I have documented, this ranks up there as having the saddest story attached to it. To think that Dwyer was innocent, or at the very least had his role in the conspiracy worsened by false confessions, is highly troubling.
43	The Boat Race 1938 (partially found footage of rowing race; 1938)	10 May 2021	Well, one could say that the 1937 one had some television coverage, but had no footage attached to it. Therefore, I am not going to dispute the 1938 race as being the first televised one. Article also discusses the 1937 coverage, and the subsequent program reviewing the 1929-1938 races, Rowing Blues.
44	Father Ted "Going to America" (lost alternate ending of TV sitcom finale; 1998)	12 May 2021	Fan of Father Ted, had heard of the alternative ending for years, though I did not it was actually filmed until much later. Would have been an awful ending though, even when not taking Dermot Morgan's untimely passing into account.
45	Doctor Who "The Parting of the Ways" (lost alternate ending of British sci-fi TV series finale; 2005)	13 May 2021	An ending never intended to be an actual ending. Huh. Would love to see it one day, though!
46	SCP-048 (partially found original versions of science-fiction story; 2008-2009)	17 May 2021	Is this the only case where the lost media is a bunch of poor quality Wiki articles?
47	England 16-21 Scotland (partially found footage of rugby match; 1938)	22 May 2021	First televised rugby match, and of course England have to lose again...
48	WWE SmackDown vs Raw Online (lost build of cancelled online professional wrestling PC game; 2010-2011)	23 May 2021	Bit of a weird one, this. Two conflicting titles for this game (the other being WWE Online), this professional wrestling game was targeted more for the Korean market than WWE's traditional audience. Intended for late-2010, definitely cancelled by 2011!
49	Ann and Harold (lost early BBC drama television series; 1938)	29 May 2021	The first television series to ever exist!
50	The 1938 Ashes series (partially found footage of test cricket match; 1938)	30 May 2021	Reached a half-century in articles, so what better way to mark the occasion than with a cricket article? Of course, England once again could not win here...
51	Ian Brady's briefcases (lost personal documents of Moors Murderer; 1963-2017)	16 June 2021	A harrowing piece of lost media, felt a bit disturbed upon having to delve deeper into the Moors Murder cases in order to establish a quality article. Fingers-crossed that the briefcases' contents are finally released, and that they point to where Keith Bennett's body is located.
52	Dead Space 2 (lost build of cancelled Wii port of sci-fi survival horror game sequel; 2011)	18 June 2021	I know little about the Dead Space series, but with some research, I bumped in a quick article about the cancelled Wii port. Quite obscure, based only on the LinkedIn pages that claimed it was in development before being cancelled.
53	The Simpsons Game 2 (lost build of cancelled platform game sequel; 2011)	18 June 2021	I thought this game was a bit underrated back in the day. A shame a sequel was never made, but it seems based on the sources gathered that it wasn't a popular game worthy of a sequel...
54	The Simpsons: Hit & Run 2 (lost builds of cancelled action-adventure game sequel; 2007)	19 June 2021	Now the fact a sequel for this Simpsons game never happened is such a tragedy. You would think EA would have considered it at one point, seeing how commercially successful the game was, let alone how critically acclaimed it came to be!
55	1998 Cavalese cable car disaster cockpit recording (lost footage of aviation-related accident; 1998)	20 June 2021	I learnt about this disaster upon watching the Seconds From Disaster episode covering it, and was just as outraged as many others were concerning the pilots' conduct. This piece of lost media may never be recovered, sadly.
56	The Diamond Brothers: South by South East (lost ITV adaptation of children's detective book; 1991)	20 June 2021	Amazingly, there was a six-part adaptation of the book South by South East. Having enjoyed the Diamond Brothers book series as a child, this is one piece of lost media I truly want to resurface one day.
57	Brainiac's Test Tube Baby (partially found Sky One science entertainment spin-off show; 2006-2007)	21 June 2021	Spin-off show of one of my favourite childhood programs. That said, I never found the spin-off to be that interesting, to be quite honest.
58	Ofcom Summary of Adjudication (partially found British broadcast communication regulator statements; 2003-present)	26 June 2021	For most, this would be a rather boring topic. However, I like the documentation of TV controversy, so I guess this is relevant lost media for me!
59	1996 DeVilbiss SuperFinish 200 (lost televised footage of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race; 1996)	10 July 2021	First NASCAR article, and to be honest, I have no idea whether NBC footage actually exists or not. Taking Racing-Reference's word for it!
60	Columbia Lions 1-2 Princeton Tigers (partially found footage of college baseball game; 1939)	10 July 2021	First televised baseball game, and the first sporting event televised in the US. Ze Germans and the British beat the Yanks to the punch in televising sport, though!
61	Spelling Bee (lost early BBC game show; 1938)	11 July 2021	Listed by Guinness World Records as the first ever television game show.
62	RCA recording of BBC Television Service (found footage of pre-Second World War BBC television broadcast; 1938)	15 July 2021	A pre-Lost Media Wiki find, this is likely to be the only pre-Second World War BBC television footage one will ever get to see. That said, if RCA had in mind to record television, perhaps someone else, living in London, might have as well.
63	The Care of Your Car (lost early BBC motoring show; 1947)	15 July 2021	Before Top Gear and what have you, this was the show you would seek for motoring information! Probably.
64	Why Hypno-Disc can't work in an office (lost YouTube video of Robot Wars competitor; 2007)	18 July 2021	This YouTube is actually one piece of lost Robot Wars media that I am confident will resurface one day. Surely somebody downloaded the video at some point, right?
65	Robot Wars (lost work on unfinished cartoon series based on robot combat gameshow; existence unconfirmed; 2002-2004)	1 August 2021	Another Robot Wars article, and this time I have one that I cannot verify. Does it exist beyond a conceptual stage? Unknown for now, though if footage does exist, I most certainly want to see it!
66	Robot Wars (lost near death footage of Jeremy Clarkson from robot combat gameshow; 1998)	1 August 2021	Had this accident occurred, there would be no Top Gear reboot, no Robot Wars, no Grand Tour, no lost media from this and other future Clarkson shows, ha ha.
67	Robot Wars Extreme: Series 1 (lost original BBC Choice version of robot combat battle; 2001)	4 August 2021	A NSFL article on Robot Wars? Mainly because of the 2001 US Anthrax attacks, which were horrendous based on the research I conducted.
68	Robot Wars (partially found uncut battles from BBC robot combat gameshow; 1998-2017)	6 August 2021	Out of the uncut battles available, the most interesting to me is Hypno-Disc vs Splinter, because of how little is left of Splinter after what Hypno-Disc and the House Robots did to it.
69	To Catch a Predator (partially found chatlogs, uncut interviews and police interrogations of Dateline NBC reality series; 2004-2007)	8 August 2021	One of the biggest articles I have written, for one of my all-time favourite shows. Surprised nobody wrote about TCAP on here before I did, to be honest.
70	Jules Bianchi (lost FOM footage of fatal Formula One crash; 2014)	13 August 2021	So depressing to consider that despite all the preventable issues occurring, this fatal accident still had an extremely low chance of occurring. Only justifies the need to enhance Formula One safety still further.
71	Angelo Orsi's photos of Ayrton Senna (lost photos of Formula One driver post-crash; 1994)	15 August 2021	The other lost media concerning Senna's tragic accident, and arguably the worse of the two. Glad Orsi stuck to his guns by never releasing the photos.
72	The Great Train Robbery (lost work on action-adventure video game; existence unconfirmed; 1999)	18 August 2021	I can hardly believe it myself, but indeed, Ronnie Biggs and Bruce Reynolds were involved in this game that was announced, and then just forgotten almost as soon as the concept was revealed. Was any work made on it before Biggs' arrest? Unsure for now.
73	Jim'll Fix It (partially found BBC television show; 1975-1994)	23 August 2021	The main television show by one of the biggest monsters to have ever lived. It should be noted that someone is uploading much of previously lost Jimmy Savile media, so expect more from Jim'll Fix It to come to light in the near future.
74	Newsnight (partially found untelevised BBC report concerning Jimmy Savile sexual abuse allegations; 2011)	4 September 2021	The BBC really dropped the ball on this one. Sure, the whole scandal was uncovered less than a year later, but for many of Savile's and other personalities' victims, the sooner these monsters were exposed, the better.
75	Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors: Season 2 (partially found behind-the-scenes footage of TNN robot combat gameshow; 2002)	4 September 2021	Yep, another lost Robot Wars media article, concerning footage partially shown in a Newsround segment that I stumbled across a few year back.
76	Futurama (lost build of cancelled GameCube port of 3D platform game; 2003)	6 September 2021	Tried my best to enjoy this game as a child, unfortunately I never really did. Strange a near-complete GameCube port was cancelled worldwide, though.
77	R. Lee Ermey's instructional tape (lost audition footage for Full Metal Jacket; 1985)	8 September 2021	150 pages worth of insults is incredible for the average person, but for Ermey, it was probably about par!
78	Stephen Griffiths aka "The Crossbow Cannibal" (partially found CCTV footage of Bradford murder, death photos, and recorded dismemberment footage; 2009-2010)	9 September 2021	While Issei Sagawa was bad enough, Stephen Griffiths was truly terrifying. Surprised his case doesn't get discussed much. What disturbed me when writing this was I assumed only a bit of CCTV footage was missing. Now, I know photos and dismemberment footage were also taken. Chilling stuff.
79	Anthoine Hubert and Juan Manuel Correa (partially found FOM footage of fatal Formula 2 crash; 2019)	14 September 2021	A horrendous crash I was lucky not to watch live, as I had to travel on the day, where typically in a Formula One weekend, I would watch most events if possible. RIP Hubert, and I hope Correa continues his recovery, as he has made amazing progress in returning to Formula 3 alone.
80	1936 Summer Olympics (lost television coverage of Berlin Games; 1936)	14 September 2021	The first sporting event to be televised live! Really fascinating how the Games were televised, and how initial coverage was below par, even for 1936 standards!

Planned articles

Number	Title	About
1	NASCAR (1960-1996)	A big project I have in mind, documenting the lost television broadcast of NASCAR races listed by Racing-Reference. Not sure whether some have subsequently been found, but some research on the matter will be enough to find out.
2	1937 Wimbledon Tennis Championships (partially found footage of tennis tournament; 1937)	First televised tennis event, and from what I understand, the first televised sporting event in the UK.
