5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for children and adults alike, 27 Jan 2007
I came across this quirky little series when watching Channel Five with my neices. I was instantly struck by its charm.

The story centres upon the friendship between a young boy called Scott and a little girl, Sapphire, who has survived alone on the mysterious Eel Island ever since the rest of her family of Eel Catchers were "cleared off". I don't think any more back story is ever given, but it really doesn't matter - what follows is a series of adventures, each only about 12 minutes long, where the two friends have to protect Sapphire's secret island from all sorts of threats. Thankfully there's no magic or talking animals or anything like that. But there is plenty of room to suspend your disbelief - adults rarely appear, excepting Scott's grandfatherly friend who owns a handy junk shop, and the kids just get on with it untroubled by modern technology or everyday worries.

The series is beautifully made, with good acting from the principle children and a beautiful look and overall feel. Apparently it was filmed on the Norfolk Broads and the result is magical - a world away from reams of animation and American imports kids seem to be fed now.

And it's not just my nostalgia talking - my nieces absolutely love it, especially all those animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT HIGH QUALITY CHILDRENS PROGRAMME, 16 Jan 2007
By S. Akehurst (Colchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent DVD which my nephews absolutely love and request to watch over and over. So refreshing to have a high quality childrens programme instead of poorly drawn cartoons!! Highly recommend this seller and this product.

Can't wait for the second series hopefully to be released soon on DVD. More more more please !!!!!
