| '''''Midnight Patrol: Adventures in the Dream Zone''''' was an American-British co-production between animation studio Hanna-Barbera and Sleepy Kids Ltd. (later Entertainment Rights) that aired on syndication as part of Hanna-Barbera's syndicated block "The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera" during 1990, and later reran for almost a decade on BBC as part of the "Children's BBC" block.
| |
| | |
| The series, based on stories created by Martin and Vivien Schrager-Powell, starred a group of kids, who, when going to sleep, found themselves in the "Dream Zone" where they become the titular "Midnight Patrol", who solved problems or conflicts that happened there. The members were Carter, a boy who had the ability to make any object real via his paintbrush, Keiko, a girl with a fixation on her skateboard, Rosie, a girl who didn't have any ability whatsoever (but had similar bratty traits with characters such as Lucy from ''Peanuts'') and Nick, a little boy who gained the ability to fly like a superhero. Tagging along were Potsworth, Carter's dog who is usually sarcastic, often breaking the fourth wall to comment on the events happening around him, and Murphy, Nick's toy dinosaur.

| Despite the show's popularity in Europe (to the point of being the 2nd most popular children's show in the United Kingdom, after ''Neighbours''<ref>https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/uk-making-tough-tots-sleepy-kids/article/409470 UK: Making it Tough for Tots - SLEEPY KIDS.</ref>), the show got only a select few of its episodes released on VHS, and none on DVD nor any other formats. This resulted in the episodes becoming hard-to-find online, but episodes of the show were unearthed as years went on.
| |
| | |
| In 2010, a total of four episodes (albeit separated into three parts) were uploaded by [https://www.youtube.com/@VandalStork/ John Feaster] sourced from Cartoon Network reruns, with continuity bumpers left intact. The next year, two episodes, alongside one episode that had already been found by Feaster the year before, were uploaded by [https://www.youtube.com/@flyingdamingo/ Canterville], this time separated into two parts. A few years later in 2014, "The Wishing Whale" would be uploaded by [https://www.youtube.com/@90Geeza 90Geeza], who then uploaded two more episodes four years later. The last of the show's episodes to surface as of this writing is "Night of the BedBugs", which was unearthed by [https://www.youtube.com/@timespast7477 Times Past] in 2020 sourced from a recording on Children's BBC.
| |
| | |
| Currently, this leaves three episodes remaining: "The Dozer Walks Among Us", "Dozer Quest" and "Rosie's Extra Sweet Day. As of 2022, only a small fragment of the latter remains on a CBBC Breakfast Show continuity video uploaded by jimbob8434, with the rest of the episodes only being available in German or Italian-dubbed audio.
