Before Shaun The Sheep, the Creature Comforts TV series (the UK original and the criminally short-lived US adaptation) and the Robbie The Reindeer trilogy of christmas specials, Richard Goleszowski (now known as Richard Starzak) created the cult Aardman series "Rex The Runt" - which lasted for 2 seasons from 1998-2001
Before Rex the Runt (the show) went into production, He produced 3 pilots for the show
How Dinosaurs Became Extinct (1991)
Dreams (1991)
and North by North Pole (1996)
The last pilot was last shown on the now defunct media hub, Atom.com - of which was home to another Aardman staple - Angry Kid (of which Atom had exclusive rights to at the time)
the last pilot "North by North Pole" was repurposed in the series in the episode "The Adventures on the Telly, Part II" with new scenes and a continuation in the following episode "The Adventures on the Telly, Part III"
Since Atom.com's demise, Rex the Runt's pilots are now lost media
It would be nice to track them down
