disney time tv?

Post by WilbyDaniels »

Does anyone know of tv shows titled Disney time with Haley Mills? with Maurice Chavlez? I can't seem to find any info about this show. All I know is that it aired on Dec.25,1962 as part of the Wonderful World of Color. I looked it up in both Maltin's and cotter's books,and can't find anything about them? Does anyone out there know of them and what they were about? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't have much info on Disney Time - it was series of specials that aired in the UK (typically on the BBC) on or around Christmas Day. Not sure how far back they started - definitely airing in the 60's. In the early 80's they started airing additional specials on bank holidays throughout the year. The Wikipeda page lists the hosts for the 1970 - 1983 specials, but I haven't found any host info for the earlier years.
Any UK fans out there have more info? I would love to know more about these myself.

The title you seek is probably "In Search Of The Castaways" starring Hayley Mills and Maurice Chevalier. Done in 1962...

I just saw this old post. "Disney Time" was a BBC show, with these episodes aired on Christmas Day. They were not shown in the US. I think I have 3-4 of them. My favorite one was hosted by Tommy Steele, with the premise being he was in a Disney prop room and used items there to introduce clips from various feature films.
