However, it is unknown how much footage is available, and fans continue to speculate about the possibility of a full video recording of the show surfacing.
Celebrity Number Six (found original photograph of Leticia Sardá; date unknown)
In January 2020, Reddit user TonstaH posted on various subreddits regarding how they owned curtains containing fabrics covered with Pop art style illustrations of eight different celebrities.

Since the initial posts, TonstaH and fellow Reddit users identified seven of the celebrities, by matching the illustrations with the source photographs. However, the identity of one of the illustrations, nicknamed "Celebrity Number Six", remained a mystery. A search for the source photograph was ongoing until 8th September 2024, when Reddit user IndigoRoom revealed it was an image of the Spanish model Leticia Sardá, taken by Leandre Escandell for an issue of Woman Nº162. Sardá herself provided the full-size photograph the following day.

Disney Circle Seven Animation (partially lost production material of cancelled Pixar sequel films; 2004-2006)

Back to the Future (lost Australian road safety PSA featuring Michael J. Fox; 1985)
Back to the Future is a 1985 science-fiction comedy film which starred Michael J. Fox as the high school student-turned-unwitting time traveller Marty McFly. In an early scene, Marty skitches a ride on the back of a Ford Ranger and later a Jeep, by holding onto the vehicles' back bumpers while riding a skateboard. While humorous, , it caused consternation within the road safety-conscious Australia. Hence, when the film was released in the country, it was preceded by a television-exclusive road safety PSA starring Fox, which warned viewers not to copy his character's behaviour.
