With the recent death of Godfrey Phillip, I googled his name to see if I could find some references to Adventure Island and was rapt to come across all this. Have been playing the closing theme over and over again, and was amazed to find that I remembered most of the words. I too lived in the country and only had the choice of two channels, so this was an absolute must watch. The fantasy was brilliant, and if there were adult overtones, I didn't get them as a kid - just LOVED the show.

@jpx08 I dunno - I was in such a flat spin from HR Puff'nstuff that a colour Adventure Island would have finished me.

What a melancholic song - surely up there with "Smells like Teen Spirit" as an anthem for Generation X. Something protected a corner of my mind from the ravages of age and excess so well that I didn't even know it was there. No wonder I kept looking twice at Shirty the Slightly Aggressive Bear, and there was always something about that Jason Donovan kid...

I loved this show, best kid's show I thought, could not wait to get home to watch it.

Thanks for the post of Adventure Island. It brings back memories of simpler days in Australia during childhood years. Thanks. Denis (Canberra)
