Customer Reviews

This is the series you all have been waiting for!!
At long last Fabulous Films are releasing the classic 26 episode series that was broadcast throughout the 1980's on the BBC. The show stars Sammy Snyders as Tom Sawyer and Ian Tracey as Huckleberry Finn. This DVD set is going to hold 4 DVDs and we are currently trying to get interviews with Sammy and Ian who are still in Canada. Please feel free to email me for further info at Fabulous Films. The details are on our website.

The classic TV series of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer

This is the classic Canadian / German television series we all watched and loved during the 80's and early 1990's. Sadly this excellent series hasnt been shown here in the UK for many years, but thanks to Fabulous Films we will soon be able to own the official release of the full series.

Ian Tracey and Sammy Snyders star in this excellent tv series with 26 x 25min episodes covering the material in 'The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer' and 'The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn' books by Mark Twain.

I loved watching this series when I was a child and none of the movie versions come close to this classic childrens television series. Ian Tracey played a great role as Huckleberry Finn.

The series theme tune was also very memorable as were the opening titles featuring the paddle steamer travelling along the Mississippi river to the lyrics 'time looking back on the days that were slower, when living was easy and neighbours were friends...'

I cannot recommend this television series enough. buy it now and go on an amazing adventure with Tom and Huck.

Lose yourself in ''the good ole days''
This is the DVD that I've been waiting for ever since DVD was invented. I grew up with this series in the 1980's and early 1990's, and to watch it again is just a delight. What we have here is 4 DVD's containing each of the 26 episodes in full, complete with Ian Tracey's commentary of what will happen in the next episode, as well as what happened in the previous, just as it was aired. Of course, each has been digitally remastered for DVD, making it an even more enjoyable experience. As a bonus, you have a 30 minute episode ''The making of...'' featuring interviews with four original cast members as well as the producer, which are fascinating.
This compilation has been well worth the wait, does justice to this cult series, and I'd recommend any fans to buy it without hesitation.
