“Arthur of the Britons” – 1972
Made by HTV in Wales, and set in Britain in the time of Arthur himself. It is set a hundred years after the fall of the Romans. Standby for druids and fairies in this complicated account of Arthur that was spread over two series.
Look out for Tobias who would later star in The Bitch with Joan Collins. Look out for Brian Blessed who shouts so loud he can be heard in space by Flash Gordon.
