St. Ives was a television mini-series broadcast in 1955. Adapted by producer Rex Tucker from the novel of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson, it aired on the BBC for a total of six 30-minute episodes.[1] Cast included William Russell, Noelle Middleton, and Francis Matthews.[2] The most notable aspect of the production is that, unlike many BBC series of the era, the episodes still exist.[3] Later BBC television versions of the story aired in 1960 and 1967, but are believed to have been wiped.[4]
