Introducing Roger Moore

Richard Greene&apos;s &quot;Adventures of Robin Hood&quot; was in its 3rd successful year, and NBC was headed for a wrap on &quot;Adventures of Sir Lancelot&quot;, when Columbia Screen-Gems decided (December, 1956) to produce this 39 episode series with Sydney Box Productions in England. Actually, the schedule to get the pilot before ABC (which didn&apos;t purchase the show) required that the first episode and the head-title/tail-credit sequences be filmed at the Columbia Ranch outside LA in February 1957. Only this episode was shot in color (only released for broadcast in B&amp;W). The show then returned to post-winter England. The pilot-episode features Roger Moore with a much tighter haircut and an open-throat camail of armor. The backgrounds are also quite Southern California. The show was more lavish than &quot;Robin Hood&quot;, and generally more engaging than &quot;Sir Lancelot&quot;. Moore and Brown had good chemistry and became close life-long friends. The half-dozen best episodes would be, &quot;Freeing the Serfs&quot; (pilot), &quot;The Witness&quot;, &quot;The German Knight&quot;, &quot;Rinaldo&quot;, &quot;Brothers in Arms&quot;, and &quot;Freelance&quot;. The most dramatically balanced of these (with better than average production) is &quot;Freelance&quot;. The largest action scene is the closing ambush-and-battle, involving 25 mounted riders, in the higher budgeted pilot, &quot;Freeing the Serfs&quot;. The best staged and scored sequence is the joust and duel between Moore and Christopher Lee in, &quot;The German Knight&quot;. A lot of Baby Boomers have fond memories of seeing this series in syndication as kids.
