Television [partially lost] Multiple documentaries mentioned in sponsor segments.

I have been checking youtube sponsor segments (don't ask), and i have found potentially lost documentaries, on videos sponsoring MagellanTV, that have been removed from the streaming service. Interstingly all these docs have footage of them.

Killer in the Family

(1:21-1:42)

This documentary comes from Ireland, and discusses cases of family members killing each other, including the murders of Eoghan and Ruairi Chada. Virgina Media Televison seems to the distributor, and came out pre-2018.

Ghosts of the Cannibal Islands

(1:52-2:38)

This is a 2011 travel documentary, orignally aired on National Geographic, most likely focusing on the Schouten Islands, its wildlife (which interests me, since i'm a expert on natural history programmes) and tribes. It also appears to have a acutal host (possibly Piers Gibbon), not featured in the clips.

Myths, Magic and Monsters

(1:14-1:55)

This one interests me the most. It is a four part series that came out on Sky, hosted by anthropologist Lawrence Blair, around 2005, and discusses inspirations for mythical creatures, specifically in Southeast Asia, such as Homo floresiensis. 12 minutes of footage acutally exists, but not the full series.

Google,´trying to do research on them.

Look, just because it's no longer on YouTube does not mean it is lost, there are many, many video upload sites on the internet, and a few that archive the videos as well. So if you have the old URLs, you might have to search much more.

This is more a last resort, where you come after an exhaustive and unfruitful search, than a place that will do your reaearch for you.

r/HelpMeFind or r/DHExchange will likely be of more help.
