Jack Shepherd and Iain Cuthbertson star in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast
dramatisation of the classic swashbuckling tale. Having outwitted a band
of pirates to obtain a map disclosing the whereabouts of Captain Flint's
treasure, Young Jim sets sail for Treasure Island. But the crew of the
Hispaniola are not what they seem. Revealing themselves as another gang
of cut throats, led by the villainous Long John Silver, they are
hell-bent on seizing both the ship and the treasure. Will they succeed?
The struggle of Young Jim and his friends as they do battle on the high
seas is thrillingly played out in this full-bodied production starring
Jack Shepherd, Iain Cuthbertson, Buster Merryfield and James McPherson
as young Jim Hawkins.
