Ivanhoe is a British television adventure series first shown on ITV network in — The show features Roger Moore in his first starring role, as Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, in a series of adventures aimed at a children's audience. The characters were drawn loosely from Sir Walter Scott 's novel Ivanhoe. The series is set in England during the 12th century reign of King Richard the Lionheart , who had gone to fight in the Crusades and failed to return. In his absence, power had been taken by his younger brother, the ambitious and wicked Prince John , who sought to strip the people of their rights and land. The dashing and heroic knight Ivanhoe, with his father-and-son companions Gurth and Bart whom he had freed from servitude from the evil Sir Maurice , attempted to right wrongs, secure justice, help those in need, and thwart John and his allies. In December , Columbia Pictures signed up Roger Moore, then working with limited success in Hollywood , to play the title role in an intended series for transmission in both America and the UK. The budget was more generous than that of the Robin Hood series running at the time and filming started in early Shooting of the pilot was at the ABPC studios at Elstree for the series at Beaconsfield Studios and on location around Buckinghamshire in England, but with some shooting also taking place in California. The series premiered on ITV in January , while filming of all 39 episodes continued through to June Although the pilot episode was shot in colour, the rest of the series was shot in black and white. Guest stars in the series included Christopher Lee. Moore insisted on undertaking much of the stunt work himself, resulting in several injuries including three cracked ribs from a fight scene and being knocked unconscious when a battleaxe hit his helmeted skull. Moore later commented, "I felt a complete Charlie riding around in all that armour and damned stupid plumed helmet.

Heroic knight Ivanhoe returns from the Crusades to find an England bereft of her King. With the King's villiainous brother, Prince John, intent on seizing the throne, Ivanhoe travels the country righting wrongs. A medieval-set action adventure series based on some of the characters in Sir Walter Scott 's novel, this sure-handed Anglo-American production gave a youthful Roger Moore his first starring television role. As an adaptation of sorts, Ivanhoe was disappointing in its shortcomings; as a swashbuckler series it was bold, striking and distinctly enjoyable. A somewhat untidy production account, however, preceded the series.
