Do you have the Fast Forward where they explain video technology?

Is this "Fast Forward II" or episode Two of Fast Forward? Fast Forward was an excellent series on TV Ontario back in 1980. They made 12 episodes, most of which are lost. This copy is extremely good and should join the other few that exist. This looks to be episode two, not "Fast Forward II."

I don't have any more information on my end besides the video. What other episodes exist of this series? I'll check thru my collection again to see if I have anymore of 'Fast Forward'

I'm more than willing to provide the raw video files to be shared if there is a place/person/website that is archiving this series. I'm on discord, email, etc.

@@JsClassicTV There are maybe three more episodes of this series. The originals were wiped a long time ago but I know people who are desperately trying to find more episodes.

@@JsClassicTV The copy here is insanely good compared to the very few that exist. I've got one, episode 12, the final episode, which was recorded on a terrible gen 1 VHS. I know there are two others and lots of conversations about other episodes that might exist on U-matic. @Hullspeed has some of them, and is looking for more. If it's okay, I pointed him to your channel.
