dm2010 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 Arrived in Lanzarote yesterday for 2 weeks hols and act as race support for a friend doing a 24 hour endurance race. He will be on the course 24 hours nonstop. Nuts. But I'm here to do a spot of sightseeing too. Anyone remember that hilariously badly dubbed kids TV series from the 80's - Tim Tyler ? It's actually a corruption of the German 'Timm Thaler' and much of it was filmed at the artist Cesar Manrique's house in Mirador Del Rio, Lanzarote - and is open to tourists. Also doing one of my favourite activities - open water swimming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm2010 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 And this one too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tciemb0Bkm8 Fabulous Films are bringing out the English version DVD soon, but this does ok. It is is German, but the characterisation is so good that a translation is not really necessary. This version is a much darker tale than I remember, mainly because the hilariously bad dubbing is missing. The production values and Patrick Bach's performance are first rate throughout - modern kids TV is rubbish by comparison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
