- The Adventures of Long John Silver (TV series)
"The Adventures of Long John Silver" is a TV series about Long John Silver from Treasure Island, starring Robert Newton. It was made in colour in Australia for the American and British markets before Australia had television. There were 26 half hour episodes, and it was shown in America from 1956 and Britain on ITV in 1957. It was shown in Australia on the ABC in 1958, in the afternoon Children's TV Club.
Newton (who died in 1956) and the other actors (except for Rod Taylor) had the same roles as in the 1954 film Long John Silver shot in Australia. Production of the TV series started in 1954, although the IMDb has it as a 1955 (or 1958-59) TV series. The director was Lee Sholem, for seven episodes according to IMDb.
Parts of the TV series were edited into two films for the American market: "Under the Black Flag" and "South Sea Pirates".
In 1985 the series was repeated in the United Kingdom in a Saturday afternoon slot on ITV.
