A band of shepherds are constantly attacked and pillaged by a group of Knights and their Master, one of the shepherds, Chad, turns to Sir Lancelot for help.

A good story, with arguably the best action sequences seen on the show so far, the stunts actually felt quite realistic, the sequences were attacked with a bit more vigour.

Derren Nesbitt has gone from villain to hero, he was very good here as Chad, look out for Jane's Grout, known to many as Morse's boss Strange, he's instantly recognisable.

Knight are supposed to live by a certain code of conduct, behave with honour, only this lot didn't get the memo, they look like Knights, but lack honour, naturally Sir Lancelot enjoys showing them the error of their ways.

It's not perhaps an original story, it's definitely perhaps inspired by the works of Akira Kurosawa, it does feel inspired by The Seven Samurai.

7/10.

An ingredient of The Seven Samurai is in this adventure.

Local shepherds are being preyed by renegade knights. They plunder the food, molest the local women and kill an unarmed elderly man.

The shepherds visit King Arthur with their complaint. Lancelot takes up their cause only to be rebuffed, humiliated and attacked by the renegade knights.

Lancelot decides to train the shepherds to fight and take on the knights themselves.

An adventure with some dialogue which makes me think that American blacklisted writers were involved in this story.
