''The Flaxton Boys'' is a British historical children's television series set in the West Riding of Yorkshire and covering a timespan of almost a century. The series was made by Yorkshire Television and was broadcast on ITV between 1969 and 1973, running for 4 series and 52 episodes, each of 30 minutes duration. ''The Flaxton Boys'' had a number of completely different scriptwriters, was produced by Jess Yates and Robert D. Cardona, and directed mainly by Cardona (45 episodes). Each of the series was set in a different era, spanning the years 1854 to 1945.〔(BFI Film & TV Database ) ''Retrieved 22-5-2010''〕 == Plot, Cast and Episodes of the Series == The series is set at Flaxton Hall, located near the fictional Yorkshire village of Carliston. Each series follows the exploits and adventures of a different generation of boys, in 1854, 1890, 1928 and 1945 respectively. The main protagonists in each series are a young member of the Flaxton line and his closest friend, both portrayed as being around 14 years old. Storylines are drawn mainly from the traditional staples of the Boys' Adventure genre, including plot elements such as hidden treasure, cryptic clues to be solved, ghostly apparitions, malign and unscrupulous villains, and spies. Each series is essentially self-contained in terms of cast and character. However two lead actors feature in more than one series – Victor Winding portrays Barnaby Sweet in series 2 and Sweet's son Benjamin in series 3 and 4,〔(Victor Winding at IMDb.com ) ''Retrieved 22-5-2010''〕 while Richard Gale plays Sir Peregrine Stilgoe in series 1, Stilgoe's ward Sir Tarquin in series 2, and Miles Osborne in series 3.〔(Richard Gale at IMDb.com ) ''Retrieved 22-5-2010''〕 A constant element through all four series is narration by Gerry Cowan, who appears as Jacklin Flaxton in series 2.〔(''The Flaxton Boys'' at IMDb.com ) ''Retrieved 22-5-2010''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Flaxton Boys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
