  3. Elephant Boy

This has faded a bit over time! I think it was around 1972/1973 and was obviously imported from India. I think it was dubbed into English and was aimed at kids, being a drama about an indian boy who looked after elephants. I can remember the opening credits as the boy was running to the camera and then he would cup his hands to his mouth and shout "Khali"... or something like that!

    Yes, I remember this well- he was a trainee Mahoot whose Dad was boss of a regional elephant haulage firm (in rural India, elephants are used as heavy multi-purpose vehicles, like lorries are in less isolated areas). The lad's own elephant was called Hara- I remember once when Hara got frightened by something moving in the undergrowth, the boy said "Oh Hara, don't be so silly- it's only a guinea-pig!" which has been a catchphrase in my family ever since! (I thought guinea-pigs came from South America, not India, but mabe a species of them exists there too....)

Do you remember these?
