Children's Island

I have read that you all like the TV series but nobody can get hold of a copy. I too remember the series very well and enjoyed it so i bought a copy which is very rare to get hold of in the UK but i have a copy for sale which i bought from a site in America. If anybody would like to buy it they can contact me. Children's island is a series shown on TV in 1984 and is a bit dated now but to those who remember it it should bring back memories. England is being devastated by bombs during the second world war and 2 young brothers write a letter to the president of the US, the message is clear, earnest and touching, please help us escape the bombs. The president helps but as the children are at sea the boat is torpedoed and they manage to make it to an island, that is when they must survive for how long? they do not know.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It was a two parter and it came on Nickelodeon. JD Roth was the presidents son and he invited a boatload of British kids to the us to visit but the boat got caught in a storm. I have been desperately (and secretly) trying to find this movie. Please let me know. I am most interested in it. Why do we have to have 10 blocks of lines? So anyway, I think the fact that Lost is out (and also excellent) has been working my mind of remembering this movie. It's one of the only things that really sticks out in my mind from childhood. I don't remember how they survived on the island but I consider myself a girl (boy) scout who is always prepared and wondered how I could survive a plane crash.

I really liked this series as a kid and used to wait for it to watch on tv I also like its main theme and trying hard to get its name but haven't found it yet please mention the name of the theme by Hennie Bekker as I came to know is the musician.

"In England during World War II, two brothers, Stanley and Tommy, roughly fourteen and nine, grow a bit tired of being bombed, write a letter to the American president requesting that they and other British children be sheltered in the U.S.A. Thanks to the President's grandson, twelve year old William (J.D. Roth), the idea is accepted, but Stanley and Tommy's boat is attacked by a German submarine before it can ever reach shore. The lads plus nine other children then find themselves alone on a deserted island, and they there slowly establish a small society with their combined talents. In the meantime, William is determined to find the missing kids, even though all the adults around him consider them dead. Primarily meant for a younger crowd, but a very rare epic which might best be defined as an "optimistic Lord of The Flies." Based on Mira Lobe's book Insupu."
