182 Swiss Family Robinson


First  watched  : 1974

Over  to  ITV  for  this  Canadian  series  loosely  based  on  the  bestselling  novel  about  a  family  stranded  on  a  desert  island. The  series  added  a  young  daughter  Marie  who's  not  in  the  novel.  She  was  played  by  a  Heather  Graham  who  was  no  relation  to  the  blonde  film  star   and  not  much  of  an  actress  either. Leading  man  Chris  Wiggins  as  Father  was  pretty  wooden  too.

Only  one  series  was  made ( 26  episodes )   because  ABC  in  America  were  known  to  be  developing  a  version  of  their  own.

I  can  barely  recall  it  and  probabluy  only  saw  one  or  two  episodes.
