How old is John Boy at the start of the seires? I know in the original novels he is fifteen, but I've always wondered his age on the programme.

I think they play pretty loose with time and ages, even in the original series. Sometimes John Boy is presented as a teen ager, other times he clearly seems to be in his early 20s. I also noticed in the 6th season that time jumps back and forth between 1939 and 1940...they're obviously moving time forward to address the looming of WWII, but they don't seem to be paying too close attnention to the passage of time as as depicted on the show.
No big deal, since shows didn't focus as much attention to detail and continuity back then. People only saw the episode maybe once or twice, and couldn't remember all of those things that DVDs and syndication and the internet help us keep track of on shows like 'Lost'. He's still a great character from a great show.
