In contrast to Secret Valley, which was a commercial failure in the United Kingdom when screened there in 1985, the show was hugely successful in the UK, where it was first broadcast in 1987 on the ITV network, and proved so popular that it was also later repeated on Channel 4 in both 1990 and 1998. The series still has a strong cult following in the United Kingdom today. The overall story is divided into 6 parts, each for a particular quest, with 4 episodes each. Some TV channels showed the series as TV movies of 90 minutes each. In this form the story is slightly abridged, cutting a few scenes that are present in cut for a half-hour slot.
