Huckleberry Finn and His Friends

I've watched the series 6 times throughout the years. First in the Netherlands and Belgian TV then the German dubbed version. Hopefully the DVD will also be distributed in the Netherlands. I still have the scrapbook with newspaper and TV-guide cuttings that I started in 1980 and it was useful for my book reports at school. All the girls fell in love with Ian Tracey, no kidding. I remained to follow Ian's acting career, but being over here in The Netherlands,we get to miss most of the news. But hooray for Internet, it's a great help to find articles and photo's. I'm sure that there are a lot of Dutch fans waiting to enjoy the series once more. I know certainly will!

I remember watching this series through about twice on the BBC when I was a kid in England. Wish I could get it all on video!!

I thought it was a great adaptation. Indian Jo and Pappy were such meanies!!!

Don't know why they don't show it on tv now for kids. I remember in 1985 i used to get up and have breakfast then run into the living room to watch it. It was on everyday for 6 weeks at 9-30 am every weekday mourning during the summer school holidays along with other programmes such as "silas" and "jack holburn" all 3 of these programmes where producted by a west german companies, but they were all good. The BBC or ITV should show them again, I remember the first time we see tom sawyer in the Huck Finn programmes whit washing aunt polly's fence, class.

The timelessness of this show is evidenced by my 7 & 14 - they of the YouTube, Xbox and iPad generation, being hooked on a 39 year old show.

It is a nostalgic show for me, I watched it as I grew up in the 80s, and they'll see the nostalgia in another 30 years.

If you haven't seen the show, get hold of it, watch the first three episodes and you'll be hooked

This is top TV viewing. When I grew up in the 70s, this came on almost every summer. It is well made, each episode is short and therefore easy to get through. Now, 40 years later, I'm watching it with my 7 year old who is completely addicted.

The show is well made, remains reasonably true to the books and contains good animated acting from children which isn't normal for these types of shows.

Thoroughly recommend that you give this a try.
