Hello! Posting on behalf of a friend without an account; I don't have any information/recollection on this series personally, but they do, and I can direct questions/comments to them!
They'd love to get more people on the search for a cartoon called "Arthur! and the Square Knights of the Round Table" (sometimes written without the exclamation or abbreviated to just Arthur!), an Australian animated series from 1966-1968. It was made by Air Programs International, which was acquired by Hanna-Barbera in 1972. The series was broadcast in Australia and parts of Europe until about 1993 and has had one home media release in 2003, which contained 24 animated segments. It looks like 23 of those have made their way to YouTube. Here's the best list we could put together:
Episode 1: Octopus/Would You Believe, a Beanstalk?/Which Wizard Versus What Witch (all found)
Episode 2: There's an Elephant At the Drawbridge/A Nice Knight for a Wedding/Paris Picnic (all found)
Episode 3: It's the Only Kingdom I've Got/Old Moody/I'll See If I'm There (all found)
Episode 4: The Inn (found)/Seventeen Going on Seventy (lost) (likely included on the DVD release)/Will the Real King Arthur Please Stand Up? (found)
Episode 5: The Genie Who Came to Dinner/No Laugh Olaf/Some Maidens Just Aren't Fair (all found)
Episode 6: New Armour for the King/Smile, Smile, Smile/That's What I Call Music (all found)
Episode 7: It's the Gift that Counts/King's Champion/Undercover Knight (all found)
Episode 8: How Do You Like Them Apples?/Pink is 'In'/Get Your Wish Here (all found)
Episode 9: Little Bundle/The Crown Jewels/Mail-Order Bride (all lost)
Episode 10: The Unicorn of Camelot/Belle of the Ball/While Camelot Sleeps (all lost)
Episode 11: Play Gypsy Play/Be Kind to Dragons/The Search for Guinevere (all lost)
Episode 12: Even Knights Have to Eat/The Wrecker/Assault on Castle Morgana (all lost)

Episode ??: The Royal Portrait/Tales of a Lion/Maid in Camelot (all found only in B&W)
Episodes 1-12 are the only ones listed on Wikipedia, but since the last episode we found wasn't among those listed, it shows that either there are more episodes we don't know about or some of them are listed under the incorrect names on Wikipedia. Additionally, an Amazon review mentions recollections of some episodes that weren't featured in the DVD, such as "the hootenany", "when Morgan la Fey disguised herself as Guinevere" (The Search for Guinevere?), and "when the black knight tried to pose as King Arthur". All in all, there's not a very solid count of exactly how many episodes are missing. It should also be noted that on the IMDB page, there are these title cards, which are a mix of real ones and obviously fake ones.
I'll be sure to update this thread with anything else we find, but the hunt for this series seems pretty small and niche for now and it'd be interesting to get more eyes on it!
