If you grew up in Britain in the 1960’s or 1970’s then you probably remember the 13-part series Robinson Crusoe on BBC Television. Made in black and white, this French production was shown many times between 1965 and the early 1980’s, often during school holidays.
Featuring handsome Robert Hoffman, most people remember the programme for the music, which was composed by Robert Mellin and Gian-Pero Reverberi, and for the distinctive dubbed English language narration. However most would be hard-pressed to name the actor who spoke those words and even fewer know of the fascinating gay love story behind the screen credit.
