About
Ivanhoe was a BBC television series from 1970. The script was by Alexander Baron, based on Sir Walter Scott's novel of the same name. The director was David Maloney. It was shown on the Sunday tea-time slot on BBC1, which for several years showed fairly faithful adaptations of classic novels aimed at a family audience. It was later shown on US television. It consisted of five 50-minute episodes. It is not widely remembered nowadays, but is remembered favourably by some who do remember it, as one of the better BBC Sunday adaptations, and possibly more accessible to a late 20th-century audience than Scott's original novel.

Clash of Arms
A disparate group of travellers take shelter from stormy weather at the home of Cedric of Rotherwood. Dark deeds are afoot when one of them is believed to be carrying gold coinage. Elsewhere, more dark deeds are afoot as Prince John is plotting to take the English crown while King Richard is reportedly held captive in Austria.
To the Death
The thus far anonymous pilgrim saves Isaac's life and is rewarded with the horse and armour to become the masked knight. He then defeats Sir Brian de Bois Guilbert at a jousting tournament and takes Gurth as his squire. Returning from an errand to Isaac, Gurth is waylaid by a band of outlaws.
Unmasked
Gurth fights for his purse. At the tournament, the masked knight shows his favour to Rowena. The masked knight, with the help of the Black Knight defeats Sir Brian de Bois Guilbert. On the command of Prince John, the identity of the masked knight is revealed and in the ensuing shocked reaction of the crowd, the knight disappears with the help of Isaac and Rebecca.
Hunted
Prince John continues with his plan to take the English throne while his men hunt for the injured Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, being sheltered by Isaac and Rebecca. At a feast hosted by Prince John, tensions escalate between Normans and Saxons. Sir Maurice de Bracy intends to win the favour of the Lady Rowena but first he has to disguise his men as outlaws.
The Hostage
Cedric and Isaac with their caravan are captured by the Normans and taken to Torquilstone Castle. De Bracy recognises Ivanhoe but stays silent for the moment. At the castle, Rowena is reunited with Ivanhoe. Elsewhere, the Black Knight is allied with Locksley and his men to besiege the castle.
Condemned
Preparations are being made to storm Torquilstone Castle. A ransom note is delivered and a plan is hatched to free Cedric while at the same time learn the defences of the castle. Athelstane regrets a deal with the Normans while Rebecca continues to tend the injured Ivanhoe. The assault on the castle begins.
The Black Knight
The Black Knight and Cedric lead the assault on the castle aided by Urfried on the inside who exacts her revenge on the Normans. Rebecca and the injured Ivanhoe are still prisoners. Cedric and Ivanhoe are briefly reunited and Sir Brian escapes with an important hostage. Ivanhoe also disappears but Malvoisin is on his trail.
Templestowe
A fortunate interruption saves Ivanhoe. Sir Brian seeks refuge for himself and Rebecca at Templestowe Abbey even though women and especially non-Christians are forbidden and the Grand Master is arriving shortly. The Normans trailing the outlaws are intercepted and Cedric and Rowena set off for Coningsburgh. Isaac makes a deal to rescue Rebecca.
