Who remembers this nonsense! It was on around lunchtime and aimed at kids circa 1977, don't know who came up with the idea of having some boy singing minstrel songs dressed up as Huckleberry Finn/Tom Sawyer with a Mississippi River Boat-esque set and backing group, but it was pants! I had to endure this before something decent came on.. to this day I can't think what the producers at ITV were thinking, it's not as if there was anything remotely trendy about the American Deep South at the time and I'm sure the boy who sang lead in all the songs was English....wonder where he is now...must check YouTube!
