Yikes, this one takes me back. Not seen it since the late 90's on a television broadcast (so my memory is quite hazy). I remember something about a game Safari run by Teddy Roosevelt (who I remember quite disliking), and his attempts to shoot a rare species of antelope (am I even on the right track?)
I remember it being quite a beautiful episode, one of my favourites of the Corey Young Indys. The relationship between Indy and the young African boy was lovely and believable, the actors really convincingly portrayed that childlike enthusiasm for life and shared love of adventure.
The linking of Frederick Selous to the older Young Indy was neat too (they did this quite alot - Howard Carter, Piccasso, T.E Lawrence).
So not alot to say, given I've not seen it in many years and don't recall many details. I don't remember what Old Indy's bookends were about though, anyone?
