for example there are a few of us here and there that are looking for the CBBC shows 'Hero To Zero' (about a young boy who gets life advice from his poster of footballer Michael Owen) and Captain Abercrombie (a Puppet Show About a boy trying to find his Grandfathers missing watch )
i have loads of other examples of things that were very well known but are seemingly lost to time
All About me, ITV Celebrity Wrestling, Dream Team Season 1, Hollyoaks Crossing The Line & Back from the Dead, MTV UK's Senseless, MTV UK's Fur TV, around 95% of the Show Gamesville on Sky One, The Uk Version of the Show Grudge Match, The Pilot Of BBC Three's Fightbox, ITV's The Premiership, All But Three Episodes Of The Charlotte Church Show, Pop Idol, Fame Academy, Full Brit Awards Coverage ( 1996,2006 and most post 2015 are found), Children In Need, Comic Relief Full Broadcasts , T4's Fresh;ey Squeezed, Rainbow Days (Bar the Odd Episode), The Nelly Nut Show, Sky One's Club Reps, McCoist & MaCauley, Coming Of Age, BBC's Superstars ( Specifically mentioning the 2003 Reboot AS opposed to the originals which may or may not be missing also), Channel Fours Infamous 'The Kidnapping Of Prince Harry'
to name but a few i'm aware of and always trying to find updates to
any other Brits on here on the hunt for Uk Centric Content? Hell Any Of You found anything/ have anything you believe could be rare/hard to find/ lost or previously lost?
DISCLAIMER: All Shows mentioned above to the best of my knowledge are lost either in full or the partial state mentioned above, if i am incorrect i would welcome being proved as such

The most popular UK-centric lost media that I know of (other than lost Doctor Who episodes) is some lost claymation that was made by Aardman. A Wallace & Gromit commercial that was only available on a rare (?) Japanese DVD was uploaded to YouTube recently.
I'm not British but I'm a fan of a lot of British sci-fi from the 50's and 60's. Yes, everyone knows about the lost Doctor Who episodes but I there's a lot more: The Quatermass Experiment, A for Andromeda, Target Luna, Out of the Unknown, R3 and many others that are at least partially lost.

You'll have to correct me if I'm wrong on this one - the UK version of Fraggle Rock.
I'm not a fan of Fraggle Rock, but my understanding is that when Fraggle Rock was imported to the UK, the live action segments with the man in the light house were replaced with a different man. Think like how Thomas The Tank Engine has a separate narrator for the US. Apparently, the UK version is lost media. I know years ago on YouTube someone did upload clips of the UK segments, but my understanding is that the UK versions are lost and aren't easily available. If the UK versions are lost, this would explain why CITV aired the US version of Fraggle Rock when they showed a couple of episodes back in 2013.

Wouldn't surprise me, I know some UK releases of video games like the Gex series had totally different voice-actors then the American versions.

The one that keeps me up at night is Tony Luke's Nemesis The Warlock short that I've mentioned a couple times. 2000 AD is a pretty major part of British pop culture and pre-internet fan content has always fascinated me. I also just love me some Nemesis (and Judge Dredd too). We have a partial clip shown on TV (As well as bits and pieces that were used in a music video) but we don't have the whole thing. We also have production stills. Sadly Tony Luke passed away years ago and his estate hasn't uploaded the full clip anywhere that I can find.
I am a little bit of a slight piece of a miniature teeny-tiny fraction of a half-sized hob-goblin.
this is an hour long vhs recording of the infamous L!VE.TV, unsure what is actually included on the video atm as ive only just noticed it (uploaded only 5 hours ago)
i doubt itll have the topless darts show or anything but still what a throwback to the past here, probably the longest clip of the channel ive ever discoveed (lucky to find idents usually)
So Far i can see that it starts with an episode of 'Agony Aunt' but thats as far as ive went into checking
