    1 9 6 7 – 1 9 6 8 (USA)
    18 x 60 minute episodes

    Young Terry Bowen (former Dennis The Menace, Jay North) arrives in Bombay, India from Montana in America to join his father, great white hunter Hugh Bowen.

    At the American Counsel, Terry learns that his father was lost on a tiger hunt and is presumed dead – killed by a man-eating tiger.

    Believing that no animal can kill his father, Terry decides to begin his own search for him – but the authorities will not permit Terry to do so and want to send him back to the US.

    While being taken into custody, Terry manages to escape. He hides on a freight train and meets Raji (Sajid Khan) – an orphaned Indian boy who was left alone in the world when a flood destroyed his village – and his pet elephant, Maya.

    When Raji learned that Maya did not legally belong to him and was to be shipped to the desert for a lifetime of hard labour, he and Maya fled – and now he is wanted by the police for stealing the elephant.

    Stories relate the adventures of two fourteen-year-old boys who join forces to help each other complete their self-imposed missions: Terry to find his missing father; Raji to return Maya to the land of her birth and freedom.

    This hour-long Saturday night NBC series was a follow-up to the 1966 feature film of the same name and reunited the film’s original co-stars North and Khan.

    Happy 81st to Anita Harris 🫶

    Happy 81st to Anita Harris 🫶Happy 81st Birthday to Anita Harris, born 3rd June 1942 in Somerset, England. She is an all round entertainer, singer/dancer/actress.
    As a child she was a keen ice skater, and just before her 16th birthday she was talent spotted and invited to join a dance troupe and headed for Las Vegas, performing 3 shows a night. She stayed 6 months.

    While she enjoyed dancing, singing was always her first love. Upon returning to England she joined the Cliff Adams Singers and was with them for 3 years. In 1961 she made her first recordings with the John Barry Seven. Possibly two of her best known recordings are 'Just Loving You' and 'We're Going on a Tuppenny Bus Ride'.

    In the 1960's She appeared in a two 'Carry On' films. On TV in the 70's among other things she was on David Nixon's Magic Box for 8 years as his assistant. She continued working on stage and screen with entertainment legends – everyone from Bob Monkhouse and Tommy Cooper to Bruce Forsyth, Morecambe and Wise and Harry Secombe. In 1986 she made her debut in 'legitimate theatre' playing Grizabella in the West End production of Cats.
    Today she continues to perform on stage and in cabaret with her band. You can hear her recordings on

    I recently fulfilled the dream of over 40 years and saw The Zombies perform live (They were amazing!). Their current bass player is a chap called Søren Koch, and this is his regular band - The Beatophonics. If you love 60s Beat music, do yourself a favour and have a listen. They are truly superb. open.spotify.com/artist/5W05FY5rERtVTBippPjold?si=nU5zM8gJSXONAGCWOUrTnA
