Another amusing episode of "The Adventures of Robin Hood". This series was hugely popular both then and now. The show was produced on film, at a time when almost all British TV was live and recorded via telerecording (AKA "kinescope").

Big W!
In this episode, young Prince Arthur and his mother face constant attempts at being killed by Prince John and his men (at one point, Arthur is nearly forced off a cliff). A scheme is started to have him killed by men pretending to be Robin's men, while Robin's men are on a wild goose chase. Robin saves Prince Arthur just in time. He decides to join the Prince and his mother on their trip to safety, along with Friar Tuck (who is convinced to go with the offer of French Food).
GOOD FUN!!
The next episode is a direct sequel, which is unusual for this series.
