Its mix of charm, period detail and mild peril thrilled viewers the world over and it is still seen as a benchmark production in children's television. With scripts by Carpenter, Victor Pemberton (Doctor Who) and David Butler (Edward the Seventh) and direction by the likes of Charles Crichton (A Fish Called Wanda) this series attracted such guest stars as John Thaw, Peter Firth, Ray Smith, Geoffrey Bayldon and Peter Bowles.
