Dinky Di's

The Dinky Di's: Friends on Freedom's Frontier follows a group of anthropomorphic animals who go around the world saving rare and endangered animals and plants, while educating the audience on the importance of environmental preservation. Led by Aussie Roo (a Kangaroo) and Cass Koala (a Koala), this group consists of animals from all over the world who have many different specialties that serve to the Dinky-Di team, and are well organized with a command centre, computer network, and high-tech amphibious vehicles.

The group of rescuers fight against Mephisto, a shadowy eco-terrorist with glowing red eyes who uses a gang of maligned beasts to do his dirty work: Rancid Rodent (a Rat), Hugo Hyena (a Hyena), Ganny Goanna (an Iguana), Serpent Sam (a Dragon), and others. Mephisto's true identity, however, is a true mystery to the Dinky-Di's, and one which, when solved, will be a major step towards slowing damage to the planet.[3][4]

Out of the 26-episode series, only one full episode in English has survived, "Baron of Babel",[7][2] while the other only full episodes that are known, the first episode "Lost, One Dinky-Di", the seventeenth episode "Tapir Caper" and the twenty-fifth episode "Mirage Master", are in Arabic, Polish and Russian, respectively. However, half of the first episode and about seven minutes of "The Bilby Tale" episode also exist in English. At some point on the Kooltube1 website (the website that Mel Bradford had), the episodes "The Bilby Tale", "Straits of Sorrow", "The Howling Crystal" and "Mirage Master" were available to watch. Though the Kooltube1 website is no longer around, there are a few archives still without any new content except images and copyright information.[7][2]

The following episode list has mostly been translated from Polish, however, so it is known that these following episodes are the names for the English version of the show.

• "Lost, One Dinky-Di"
• "The Bilby Tale"
• "Good Wood"
• "Baron of Babel"
• "Tapir Caper"
• "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow"
• "Straits of Sorrow"
• "The Howling Crystal"
• "Mirage Master"
• "Small Hippo, Big Bust"

There is uncertainty of where the episodes "Straits of Sorrow" and "The Howling Crystal" go on the list of episodes.
