William Russell starred as the dashing Sir Lancelot du Lac, Robert [Bobby] Scroggins as Brian, Jane Hylton was Queen Guinevere and Cyril Smith played Merlin, with Bruce Seton, succeeded by Ronald Leigh-Hunt, as King Arthur. The adventures usually consisted of rescuing kidnapped knights, kidnapped queens and, preferably, kidnapped princesses in towers. The series was exceptional for the dramatic fight scenes and the seventh century period detail, which was based on specially commissioned research from Oxford University. |
