by Robert Louis Stevenson
Dramatised in nine parts by David Turner

The first episode in a new production for BBC Television

Young Jim Hawkins never forgot the day that Billy Bones came to The Admiral Benbow looking for quiet lodgings. He paid Jim to keep a look-out for a one-legged sailor in particular. That seaman never came, but Black Dog did. Then on the day that Jim's father died, a blind beggar called Pew tapped his way to The Admiral Benbow, and gave Billy Bones the 'Black Spot'.
