FANTASY ISLAND - 80s TV

I have vague memories of this strange TV show, which was set on an island in the Pacific Ocean.  Fantasy Island ran from 1978 until 1984, and the storyline always involved Mr Roarke (the tall one) inviting two guests onto the island to live out their fantasies.

Tattoo was Mr Rourke's little companion. I do remember that he always rang a bell and then pointed to the skies and shouted "De Plane, De Plane" in the opening sequence of every show!

Before it became a tv series, Fantasy Island was introduced to viewers in 1977 through two highly-rated made-for-tv movies.

Wonder Woman

The Fall Guy

80s Knight Rider
