RecognitionCaptain Johnno won the International Emmy Award in 1988. PublicationVHS copies were made available for general release and at least one, Captain Johnno appeared in a subtitled classroom edition. Originally only one of the six movies, Princess Kate, was released on DVD in Australia. Echo Bridge Entertainment once offered Devils Hill, Captain Johnno and The Journey on 1 disk, and The Gift, Top Enders and Peter and Pompey as part of a 2-disk compilation with Rabbit Proof Fence and Secret of the Andes. In 2014 this title was no longer in their catalogue. Australian Children's Television Foundation subsequently released Touch the Sun - Top Enders and Peter & Pompey, and Touch the Sun - Devil's Hill and Captain Johnno as two separate DVDs. These products are marred by occasional skips in content as though they have been dubbed from films which have been subjected to breakages and subsequent splicing. Sources1. ^Ed.
