The greatest movie ever made..!

Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely Fantastic

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

I remember as a young boy watching this show breathlessly, and in Turkey!. No wonder none of my friends in US have no idea about this show, I now realize that it is an Australian product: an excellent one. The song stayed with me, and I noticed that the lyrics are available on a web-site TV Nostalgia. I wonder if they are available online somewhere. As far as I recall the suspense was amazing, the Q character was invincibly evil. There were some innocent islanders suffering in the hands of the pirates who control the islands. IT created a sensation in Turkey. To find this one was easy, but I also remember an Italian show about some people stranded on an island. There were some evil people who created a sense of supernatural cause for several murders. A very beautiful blonde falls to the island and she tries to escape to no avail. IT was a pretty scary show. I hope I will find the track of that one too. I wish The Lost Islands will appear on DVD some time soon.

I have hoped all these last years to see The lost Islands, again. I was so excited when I saw the DVD in a big famous shop in Paris. The adventures of the five children who find themselves in an island where are living people like 200 years ago are still impassioning. Like another commentator, my only regret is that it is obvious that a second season was previous and not shoot. I could not find any comment about the film, The Lost Islands (with the same cast), that was released in Australia in 1975. Does anyone know something about it ? I would be so pleased to see it as well. Anyway thanks to the Australian channel who produced this wonder and to the French DVD distributor for having bought the rights of it and made The Lost Islands not lost anymore. Merci

The entire series of The Lost Islands is being released on DVD by a French company and will be available April 2005, cant wait. I remember watching this highly adventurous series when I was very young. It combines excitement, adventure with an atmosphere of mystery around the entire show. My favorite episode would have to be one of the last when the youngsters happen upon an old amphibious army vehicle (army Duc), restore it and eventually use it to free the villagers and themselves from the terror of the mighty "Q". It will be great to finally see this classic piece of Australian television history that was made for children but I bet many adults were addicted to it as well. If only more children's television programs were being made like this today.

This show made it to the UK as well. I've not seen it since 1979 and yet that theme song is imbedded in my brain forever! This is the best kids tv show to have come out of Australia; way better than Skippy! A great premise, teen heroes that aren't too annoying, great villains and genuine excitement in each episode. It was also very well filmed in exotic locations. My regret is that it only lasted one series; we were left hanging in suspense as to what was going to happen. Maybe a remake is in order?
