Elephant Boy

Vaugely remembered TV programme from the early 1970s which Tyne Tees television put in the after kids TV slot just before the news.The series centred around Toomai and the love of his life his elephant and was filmed in amazingly garish colour. As I was only 4/5 years old when it was shown the only real part of the programme which sticks in my mind is the ending with Toomai smiling away at the camera as the credits rolled on his painted elephant in a Hindu procession with from what I can remember a cracking Indopop theme tune. Hopefully the complete series remains in a TV archive somewhere so we can have the DVD release with plenty of extras.
