    From TV Cream –
    THEME TUNE… A sweeping orchestral evocation of crashing waves, followed by a desolate, melancholy refrain for strings played over a textbook early 1960s ‘beat’ backing. Full recording includes a solo apparently played by someone who had mistaken an organ for a typewriter.
    PRINCIPAL CAST… A stranded, island-bound and increasingly bearded European and his noble native friend. Oh, and a parrot.
    ‘VILLAINOUS’ FIGURE… Hostile natives, shipwrecked mutineers, and the existential tedium of slowly chopping wood in overlong scenes.
    COUNTRY OF ORIGIN… France.
    DUBBED?… And how.
    DISTINGUISHING FEATURES… Shown over practically every school holiday, not to mention inter-holiday early morning weekend slots, for the lion’s share of two entire decades.
    YOU’RE THINKING OF… THE ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE – perhaps the most famous example of all, indelibly imprinted onto the subconscious of millions of viewers who never even liked it, and a longstanding sore point for those poor unfortunates who went back to school a week earlier than everyone else and always missed the denouement.
    THE ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE (the 60s, sometime)
    AGAIN, OLD black and white stuff which strayed far into the colour era. Summer holiday fodder, possibly due to its epic 60-odd episode nature. But what can you really remember? The bad overdubbing of the French original? The parrot? Or just that classic ten-second orchestral theme plus hand disappearing below the water titles? Yeees, that’s it…

    Was sad to see that this debate became a mod bashing exercise.

    It looks like some people can’t handle mods being posters; they are posters otherwise they wouldn’t be here. Off duty police officers still speed, security guards have been known be light fingered occasionally, bank mangers have embezzled in the past.

    I want to thank people for there nice comment for Lena and me i hope we get to meet some if not all of you at some point soon.

    Make sure her parents/family have a computer and stick a webcam on it: saves on the phone bills, I’m told… – Nermal

    I remember David Rappaport – as per his cv he played Randall in Time Bandits and was also in The Young Ones a couple of times. As for the others I’d only heard of Metal Mickey: can’t say I can place it though – Nermal
