This series, adapted from the writings of Sir Walter Scott, starred a young pre-"Alaskans/Maverick" Roger Moore in the title role as Sir Wilfrid of Ivanhoe, son of Sir Cedric of Rotherwood. Set during the reign of King Richard I (aka Richard the Lionhearted). The Crusades have ended in disaster for the English king, who is believed dead--were that the case, Richard's brother, the ambitious and malevolent Prince John (Andrew Keir) would become king, and strip the people of their rights and their land. Ivanhoe and his companions Bart (Andrew Pike) and Gurth (Robert Brown--no, not the star of "Here Comes The Brides", but an older British actor), ex-slaves that he freed from bondage to the sadistic and treacherous Sir Maurice of Melensford (Anthony Dawson--of "Dial M For Murder" & "Dr. No"). The running plot of this series mostly concerns Prince John's various efforts to claim the British Crown and Ivanhoe's counter-moves, and his attempts to secure justice for the populace despite John's illicit rule. What makes this show hold up well, apart from lots of action, is the sheer amount of plot piled into each half-hour!
