Valley of the Kings

I remember watching this fantastic series at my Local Long Gone Odeon Cinema when i was very young with my friends DOES ANY BODY KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THIS ON DVD PLEASE

Those of us who fondly remember the Saturday Morning picture clubs that ran at cinemas throughout the UK and Commonwealth will recall this 6 episode serial made by Associated British Pathe for the Children's Film Foundation in the sixties.

An episode would accompany a CFF feature film to form part of the weekly programme.

The series was shot in glorious colour and was a true adventure in every sense with each 16 minute episode packed with adventure, action, drama and comedy. The storytelling was easy to follow for children of all ages. Cast members became familiar faces as they would appear in a number of CFF films and serials. Shot on location and enhanced with colour on the big screen this was an epic adventure that left you excited and waiting for the following week's edition.

In later years the six episodes were broadcast on BBC television in the UK during the Children's programming slot.

Nowadays most CFF material is hard to find. While some of it has become dated some programmes such as this and Treasure in Malta remain enjoyable.
