I watched the first one (Treasure Island??) and it wasn't too bad. Obviously they had chopped a lot of the story out for time reasons - at least I assume it was for time reasons but what they left in was fairly true to the original book.
It made me laugh at the time, my sister was at home and watched a bit of it, before flouncing off muttering that they'd spoiled it because they'd made the children "terribly middle class with posh accents". I laugh because at the time they were terribly middle class with posh accents!!!
edited to add - my big gripe was Timmy. He was played by a very sweet little terrier-type dog. Timmy was a great big-could-be-fearsome dog, not a sweet little terrier-type. Definitely mis-cast.
