#74 Treasure Island - BBC

It's pirates ahoy! Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale Treasure Island will delight adventure seekers in this rousing tale from the BBC.

No one can fail to be captivated by the swashbuckling piracy of "Treasure Island". Having outwitted a band of pirates to obtain a map disclosing the whereabouts of Captain Flint's treasure, Young Jim sets sail for Treasure Island. But the crew of the Hispaniola are not what they seem. Revealing themselves as another gang of cut throats, led by the villainous Long John Silver, they are hell-bent on seizing both the ship and the treasure. Will they succeed? The struggle of Young Jim and his friends as they do battle on the high seas is thrillingly played out in this BBC Radio full-cast dramatization which stars Jack Shepherd, Iain Cuthbertson, Buster Merryfield, Molly Weir, Robin Bailey and James McPherson as young Jim Hawkins.
