"The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones" continue with this tale set in East Africa and then Paris. Young Indiana Jones gets lost on a safari trip run by ex-President Teddy Roosevelt (James Gammon) and later befriends up-and-coming French artist Pablo Picasso (Danny Webb).
There are great little nods to the series history. Indy displays his fear of snakes, his habit of getting into trouble and resourcefulness and luck in getting out of it. Paul Freeman, who played the villain Belloq in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", pops up here as safari man Frederick Selous. He would reprise his role in a later episode, as would Danny Webb as Picasso. Webb here plays the young painter as a passionate but frustrated young man determined to get one over on his old rival Edgar Degas.
It is all finely acted and shot, with the usual informative extras.
