We're going back a long way here! Probably the mid-sixties, I remember thoroughly enjoying the Long John Silver series (filmed in Australia), that we watched on Saturday mornings when I lived in Toronto. I must have been about seven or eight yrs. old and have been an avid fan ever since. When I clicked on your link to hear the audio introduction narrated by Newton himself, it brought back wonderful memories. After an exhaustive (whew!) search for months and months, I finally discovered your fantastic site lovingly devoted to my alltime favourite actor. I *knew* you had to be out there somewhere Susan! Big thanks from a big fan!
