Adventures In Paradise
1 9 5 9 - 1 9 6 2 (USA)
91 x 60 minute episodes
 Created
by James Michener, this black & white action adventure series
from ABC recounted the exploits of Korean War veteran Captain Adam
Troy, now working on his boat the Tiki in the South
Pacific.
Troy became involved in all kinds of adventures
featuring fortune hunters and smugglers (as well as a bevy of
beautiful Tahitian women). He also had a number of partners during
the series including Clay Baker, Chris Parker and a
Chinese-American called Oliver Lee.
Although
the series was set in the South Pacific it was filmed on the
back-lot of 20th Century-Fox.
Following the cancellation
of the series McKay turned his back on show business to travel the
world. He eventually became a playwright, drama critic and
teacher and died early in 2002, aged 69.
