The Littlest Hobo

[themilkman]

They were talking about it on the radio the other day and I didn't have a clue what programme they were talking about ........anyway, as it turned out I vaguely remember the theme tune but have definitely never seen the show.............was it that popular?

You probably remember the song because it was used in an advert for paint.

I used to watch it, it was on quite a lot in the 80s so fairly popular I would guess.

I remember watching it. I'd put it in the same league as Lassie and Skippy. (Something to watch when there was nowt else on)

Nat West also used a version of the theme in an ad.

A young Mike Myers appear in one episode.

Tales Of The Riverbank was Canadian, though the later ones were filmed on the Isle Of Wight.

Re: The Littlest Hobo

I only just discovered that it was a remake of an earlier show, which was in itself a spin-off from a movie.

Re: The Littlest Hobo

tales of the riverbank never heard of it before.

i always found as a kid littlest hobo to be scary.

always felt sad when our canine hero had to leave those it helped.
it was time to get going again.

Re: The Littlest Hobo

I thought The Littlest Hobo was complete rubbish and would always turn the TV off or over to another channel when it came on.
