It was shown at Sunday tea-time on BBC1, which for several years showed fairly faithful adaptations of classic novels aimed at a family audience. It was later shown on US television. It consisted of ten 25-minute episodes. Eric Flynn, who played the title role, became better known for his work in stage musicals.
