| King Richard (Julian Glover) faces trouble from his sister Joanna (Jean Marsh). |
In the troubled Jaffa-based court of the fiery King Richard the Lionheart (Julian Glover), his sister Joanna (Jean Marsh) is implicated in a special marriage arrangement conceived as a peace gesture by her brother with the Saracen leader Saphadin, done without her knowledge and consent, during explosive events within the middle episodes to The Crusade.
One of the all-time greats, with two surviving episodes, this superb historical story by David Whitaker has been poorly treated by the BBC this past thirty years. The audio release had poor sound quality (likely the best that could be done at the time, but which might be improved now), it failed to get a full DVD animation release (due to costs) and its part of The Collection - Season 2 Blu-ray proved underwhelmingly represented at best. Lets hope that this situation changes for the better at some point in the years to come...
