Advantages: Classic Australian Kid's TV which still amuses me now! Disadvantages: Might not appeal as much to those who didn't watch it originally.

Tiger (Nick Mitchell) - Gribble's friend
Nell (Bunney Brooke - as in series 1) - used to own the lighthouse, now lives next door. Has a young nephew called Tom (in episode 1).

The DVD
