Lost Episodes Quiz

Our lost episodes quiz is for anyone who remembers a children’s show nobody else seems to. Ten questions cover Candle Cove’s pirate puppets and the strange local channel in 1999, plus the real story of how these fake shows were written and later adapted for TV.

How to use it

Pick an answer for each question, then read the explanation and follow the link to the story. Questions come from the versions of Candle Cove and 1999 published here, along with well-documented facts such as where Candle Cove first appeared and which TV series adapted it. Lost-episode stories work because they feel like half-remembered childhood TV, so pay attention to small details like air times, channel numbers and theme music. Want more?
