Jimmy MacDonald's Canada watch online

Jimmy MacDonald's Canada: The Lost Episodes is an eight-episode Canadian television series that aired on CBC Television in the summer of 2005.

The show is a mockumentary, set partially to real news clips from the CBC News archives, purporting to be a lost Canadian public affairs series of the mid-1960s hosted by the fictional Jimmy MacDonald (Richard Waugh) with additional commentary from a woman's point of view by Marg Margison (Teresa Pavlinek). The premise is that MacDonald had a breakdown while on the air and fled to northern Canada, taking all of the filmed episodes with him. His plane crashed and he was presumed dead, and the premise is these films have recently been found.

The character of Jimmy MacDonald was created as a combination of several real-life Canadian television figures of the 1960s, including Norman DePoe, Larry Henderson and J. Frank Willis.
