Question

the programme and were they on an island?

I used to watch this when i was younger and only remember the Jake flying a sea plane and Jack the jack russell with an eye patch. It was an Indiana Jones type of programme.

Answer 1

Picture it, it is 1940 something. The setting is somewhere in the South Pacific. You have a sultry lounge singer working at a hotel/ nightclub called the Gold(en) Monkey. When she's not singing, she is a government spy for the United States tracking the people who visit the hotel. (It is being used as a secret meeting place for the bad guys.) Trouble ensues, and with the help of the exfighter pilot, turned commercial pilot Jake and his mechanic/ friend Rusty, they help her save the day.
As an additonal note, Jack wore the eye patch because of Jake's gambling habit. He used to have a jewlwed glass eye (I kid you not) which Jake used to cover a bet, and Jack never let him forget it.
