Huckleberry Finn And His Friends

The intro to 'Huckleberry Finn And His Friends' the classic 1979 Canadian / German television series starring Ian Tracey as Huckleberry Finn and Sammy Snyders as Tom Sawyer.

I grew up in Australia during the 1980's and watched this series whenever it was shown. It was re-run many times on various networks around the world until the early 1990's when it looked like we would never see it again.

It took me years to find anything about the series and then during 1998 I was able to contact another fan of the series who had recorded 17 episodes of the series on VHS tape.

Finally in 2005 the series was released as a 4 DVD box set by Fabulous Films in the UK by and is available from Amazon.co.uk

Just love it to bits, me and my mate used to get together every morning during the school holidays and watching this with ok panther too then going out to play the whole day through. Am 38 now and just rekindled the friendship after the many years that have passed with my old mate and we STILL talk about this programme and it's part of our lives. Weird how so many people talk about this programme in the same context as my post. Thanks for posting.

@nufto We had the first Betamax video recorder in the street. A noisy, clunky top loader. I still remember having a load of my excited friends around and we watched "Jaws" mostly hiding behind the sofa or cushions, in about 1980 I think. I remember the shop starting to rent out videos. They had just 4 tapes to start with!
