The Secret Show (partially lost miscellaneous media from British animated TV show; 2006-2008)

The Secret Show platformer.

Status: Partially Lost

The Secret Show was an independently-produced animation series made for the BBC, about the semi-secret organisation U.Z.Z. and their top agents Victor Volt and Anita Knight, dealing with the dastardly machinations of Doctor Doctor's T.H.E.M. syndicate every second Tuesday, as well as saving the planet several times over from other villains such as The Impostors, Reptogators, and Prince Spong of the Floaty Heads. First devised in 2004, it premiered on CBBC in 2006 (in the UK) and on Nicktoons in 2007 (in the US).

Although the series itself is readily available for viewing, a considerable amount of media related to it is currently unavailable.

Found Media

American dub of "Bogie Ball" (excerpts)

Upload showcasing major differences from the original.

Paired with "Wegie Attack" in the second of the double-billed episodes in Nicktoons broadcasts. Edited portions of it were uploaded by YouTube User TheSecretShow4You from their own camrip, although in very low quality.

It is unknown if any additional episodes were redubbed as only 1 of the 26 Nicktoons double-bills has surfaced.

Martian dub of "Super-Vic"

One of the most famous pieces of lost media from the show, exclusive to the Australian release of the Volume 2 DVD. It was a semi-satirical in-character commentary on the episode "Super-Vic", showing the "first take" of the main cast supposedly meant to be "redubbing the episode into Martian for the benefit of those watching on Mars". Naturally the "Martian" is nonsense and the redub devolves into everyone arguing over what actually happened during the episode. Remaining elusive for many years, it was found and uploaded onto Google Drive and shared on Tumblr in it's entirety in late 2016.

Lost Media

Commentary on "Flick The Switch!"

Previously completely unheard of, this redub was meant to have been released on the cancelled Volume 3 DVD, which never made it to market despite reportedly being complete. It was uploaded by an anonymous affiliate of Tony Collingwood to YouTube in late 2016 but was immediately blocked by the Content ID system, leaving it inaccessible before it caught any public attention.

According to Mr Collingwood himself, “I enjoyed writing [The Martian Dub] – and we had a blast recording it with the actors. We did another episode like that as a DVD extra, where Changed Daily held a post mission briefing, with the entire cast commenting on how they did during the episode. Not sure if that ever made it out into the world?”

The 3rd Behind-The Scenes featurette

The only proof of this short's existence, the thumbnail of the blocked video.

Following the production of "Actors Playing U.Z.Z." and "Artists Drawing U.Z.Z.", a third making-of short, of yet unknown title, was made for the ill-fated Volume 3 DVD. Having been previously unheard of, it was uploaded to YouTube with the "Flick The Switch!" commentary and befell exactly the same fate. As such, all that is known is that the Farmer From Devon re-appears, as he is visible in the thumbnail.

The CBBC Platformer

Gameplay demonstration.

The first truly interactive media made for the show, this game was available on the CBBC website between roughly 2006 and 2009. Predating the TheSecretShow.com website, it was the first game made by Complete Control for Collingwood/O'Hare. A video showcasing parts of it was uploaded to the developer's Dailymotion channel.
