Anyone remember this obscure cartoon? It was mentioned on another forum recently. It was shown on British TV in the early to mid seventies. I have vague memories of watching it, but I was very young. It came from Czechoslovakia, originally titled JAK RUMCAJS, and was dubbed into English. You can find the originals on Youtube,
Anyone know if the English language version still exists?
Hello Pete
Boris The Bold was shown on BBC One at 4.25pm on the following dates. The story was told by Johnny Morris and presented by Peggy Miller. There were repeats of some, if not all, in 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1978.
Pete, the bfi has no filmographic record for this Series under either its English or Czech name, so no holdings.
