Die verlorenen Inseln

Hallo, I'm an Italian man, non in Romania. Searching in InterNet I found some info concerning "The Lost Islands", a serial which shocked me when I was young, when I was 13 years old. It means that I loved it very much for the adventures and for the exotic places where it was shot. Now, it seems incredible to find info about it on InterNet. But I'd like to read something more about the cast, about the place in which it was shot. I'd like also to see some picture of the scenes. Is it possible? Someone knows something about InterNet resources related: 1) photos/pictures 2) stories about this wonderful serial?. Please, if so, send email to gtalba1@hotmail.com, if so, send email to gtalba1@hotmail.com

I have hoped all these last years to see The lost Islands, again. I was so excited when I saw the DVD in a big famous shop in Paris. The adventures of the five children who find themselves in an island where are living people like 200 years ago are still impassioning. Like another commentator, my only regret is that it is obvious that a second season was previous and not shoot. I could not find any comment about the film, The Lost Islands (with the same cast), that was released in Australia in 1975. Does anyone know something about it ? I would be so pleased to see it as well. Anyway thanks to the Australian channel who produced this wonder and to the French DVD distributor for having bought the rights of it and made The Lost Islands not lost anymore. Merci

So I was around 10/11 when I watched this. In the 70's and early 80's there were some good children shows coming from Australia. This was my favorite. Now almost 45 years later I can still easily sing along with the tune. In short a ship full of youths ( children of all places with all kind of faces) lands in a storm and some of the teenagers land on a weird island where time has stood still. They get some help from children from the village. I can't for the life of me rememember how it ended. I just remember it got me glued to the black and white tv for every episode. Good stuff from my childhood days.

This show made it to the UK as well. I've not seen it since 1979 and yet that theme song is imbedded in my brain forever! This is the best kids tv show to have come out of Australia; way better than Skippy! A great premise, teen heroes that aren't too annoying, great villains and genuine excitement in each episode. It was also very well filmed in exotic locations. My regret is that it only lasted one series; we were left hanging in suspense as to what was going to happen. Maybe a remake is in order?

The entire series of The Lost Islands is being released on DVD by a French company and will be available April 2005, cant wait. I remember watching this highly adventurous series when I was very young. It combines excitement, adventure with an atmosphere of mystery around the entire show. My favorite episode would have to be one of the last when the youngsters happen upon an old amphibious army vehicle (army Duc), restore it and eventually use it to free the villagers and themselves from the terror of the mighty "Q". It will be great to finally see this classic piece of Australian television history that was made for children but I bet many adults were addicted to it as well. If only more children's television programs were being made like this today.
