Through the magic of YouTube below you can see an entire episode of the 1964 Robinson Crusoe TV series, complete with its wonderful theme music. Ah! Memories!

It’s the second episode in three parts. On Paralettic’s Channel you can see four episodes.

Wikipedia notes:

The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (French: Les Aventures De Robinson Crusoë) was a French children’s television drama series made by Franco London Films (a.k.a. FLF Television Paris). The show was first aired in Germany in October 1964 under the title Robinson Crusoe as four 90 minute episodes by co-producers ZDF television, and syndicated in the USA the same year. It was first aired in the UK in 1965 as a 13 part serial, this English dubbed version produced by Henry Deutschmeister also had a new musical soundtrack composed by Robert Mellin and P. Reverberi which gave the serial a more strident and appealing theme tune than the music composed by George Van Parys for the French/German original. It was based on the first of Daniel Defoe‘s Robinson Crusoe novels, but is perhaps best remembered for the haunting theme music composed for the English language version – recreated since by bands such as The Art of Noise.
