What happens

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a seven-part series produced by the BBC which originally aired on the BBC from July 24, 1960 to September 4, 1960. After it was broadcast in England, it was brought to the United States as part of the What's New? series on National Educational Television. Fred Smith, who played Tom Sawyer, and Mike Strotheide, who played Huckleberry Finn, were the sons of American servicemen stationed in Britain; the rest of the cast was primarily British. The teleplay was adapted from Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by C. E. Webber and incorporated folk songs from Peggy Seegar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
