This
1950's ITC series told tales of Sir Lancelot du
Lac and his involvement with King Arthur and his
fellow knights of the round table.
Filmed mostly in the studios (at Nettleford with
a very clean looking dark ages set) but with
some location work done at Allington Castle.
The series, a co-production between Sapphire and
ITC was made to cash in on the success of The
Adventures of Robin Hood (along with several
other shows such as William Tell, The Scarlet
Pimpernel etc). The show also used the
same studios as the above and many of the same
crew and so on, including some of the same
American writers (writing under pen names) who
had been blacklisted in the states for their
supposed communist connections.
