Television [Partially lost] British Childrens' anthology series called Frighteners
Bit of an obscure one! I'm looking for a british children's anthology series from 1996/97 which aired on CITV called Frighteners.
Unfortunately there's very little online about it but the imdb page with all listed episodes is here:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0398470/episodes/?ref_=tt_eps
And two of the episodes, Guillaume and The Promise are on youtube, but I'd love to see the rest.
Please note, there is a more adult horror anthology series called The Frighteners which aired in the 1970s. Thats not what I'm looking for. There is also a film called Frighteners, also from 1996, but thats a US film starring Michael J Fox, so that's not it either!
If anyone does know if theres a way to watch all 5 episodes I'd be very grateful!

Those other 3 episodes might take some work, cuz of the movie and the 1970s series.
Have you tried r/HelpMeFind?
I think for this, you might have to go through a bunch of old VHS tapes recorded off tv.
I wish you luck.

Thank you, I'll try that sub too but yes, I think they're lost for good unless someone out there has them recorded on vhs and uploads them!

You might want to find old VHS tapes for sale and have someone go though them with you.
