The Musee du Quai Branly in Paris (which features arts and cultures of Africa, Asia and the Pacific),  has staged an exhibition about Tarzan. It’s almost 100 years since Tarzan was born in 1912, and although the Edgar Rice Burroughs aren’t as popular as they once were, Tarzan is still a familiar figure. The exhibition uses film archive, artwork, music and text to illustrate the character’s influence and explores issues of race and sexuality. Read more on BBC News.

It’s left me feeling nostalgic for other classic 1970′s summer holiday daytime viewing, such as:

• Champion the Wonder Horse (click on the link for the theme tune)
• Skippy the Bush Kangaroo
• Casey Jones
• Black Beauty
• Little House on the Prairie

Please can someone do a season and bring them back?
