Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe was a BBC television series from 1970. The script was by Alexander Baron, based on Sir Walter Scott's novel of the same name. The director was David Maloney. It was shown on the Sunday tea-time slot on BBC1, which for several years showed fairly faithful adaptations of classic novels aimed at a family audience. It was later shown on US television. It consisted of five 50-minute episodes. It is not widely remembered nowadays, but is remembered favourably by some who do remember it, as one of the better BBC Sunday adaptations, and possibly more accessible to a late 20th-century audience than Scott's original novel.

This production, originally released in 1970, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Action & Adventure genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 5.0 across its 1 season.
