You never know, besides I’ve posted some really obscure old films in the public domain thread that I’m sure only I’m fascinated by, but I figured it’d be fun to post it anyways. As for why it’s all available on YouTube, I figured they might be worried that there’s not enough potential for a new audience on TV or streaming, so instead of not doing anything with it at all they decided to just upload it all online ad make at least some money from ads. Besides the YT algorithm can often recommend these type of things completely out of the blue to someone who’s shown interest in similar content.

Speaking of Australian produced water-themed fantasy series (that’s probably one of the weirdest things I’ve written); Ocean Girl (titled Ocean Odyssey in the UK) is also available on YouTube. I had a phase in the early 2000’s when I was absolutely obsessed with all things Atlantis (due to the 2001 Disney movie) and I remember being quite fascinated by this show, although I only watched it sporadically. The stuff with the kids never interested me all that much, but I remember the lore of the show being quite fascinating for such a low-ish budget kids show.
