This cartoon (Katri, Girl of the Meadows, English translation) was broadcast on Channel 4 as part of 1987's Japanese Autumn season. Although there were 49 episodes of the cartoon ,Channel 4 only broadcast the first episode from the series and the last episode from the series a week apart respectively.
The title of the cartoon as it was broadcast was 'Little Girl on the Farm' (first episode) and 'Little Girl goes to School' (last episode from the series).
Officially, this cartoon was never dubbed into English until 2005. It was dubbed into French, German, Spanish, Italian but only ever originally received English subtitles (released into the English market as Katri, Girl of the Meadows)
The two episodes which were broadcast by Channel 4 were definitely dubbed into English (hence the variant English titles). I remember the English language specifically and the newspaper for those days states 'English Soundtrack'.
Channel 4 say they were not responsible for the dubbing of these two episodes. They say that the episodes were distributed by FUJI TV. FUJI TV mention that the cartoon was actually made by NIPPON but NIPPON don't seem to have kept records that far back. I'm trying to figure out if this English version cartoon is out there? As I say, with the exception of these two 'special' episodes ,internationally, no 'official' English dubbing occurred prior to 2005. This would have been August/September 1987. I remember the first episode very fondly in English.
