Those European narrated series

Re: Those European narrated series

I remember a series where the father/uncle went off to town in his horse and cart. He asked the 2 kids what they wanted, the boy said lots of things and the girl said the first thing he sees.
The man comes back with all the stuff for the boy and 3 acorns/nuts for the girl. The acorns/nuts crack open one by one and there are wonderful things inside them.
Can't remember what its called or how it ended or what was in the nuts!

There were so many of these and most of them were surprisingly good! I can remember one really bizarre series about a boy who builds a laser in an attempt to find a kidnapped boy (didn't make sense to me at the time) and the laser could talk and make him invisible.

Could it be this one? (Scroll down a little less that half way to 'The Legend of Tim Tyler')

errrr ROBINSON CRUSOE

Oops...........oh yes.

Bit if trivia: The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; a French serial, based on a book by an English author (who sometimes claimed French ancestory), starring an Austrian actor and narrated by an American who spent the second half of his life in France and preported to be using an English accent on the narration itself. That was an English accent??

Re: Those European narrated series

I remember some of the later ones which were dubbed rather than narrated, Heidi, Silas and Tim Tyler come to mind.
