A Night In TV Heaven Volumes 1, 2 & 3
The Garrison, A visit To Spain, Slaves of Spain. These are three episodes from the television series first transmitted in the late 1950s into the early 1960s.
The costumes are excellent, although the hairstyles are very 1950's. The storylines are good but far from accurate. However, they are very entertaining. Terrance Morgan who plays Drake, has obviously studied the real Drake because he played the role extremely well and often looked like Drake. Jean Kent who played Elizabeth was also in character. The dialogue between them was very credible. The subsidiary characters varied form week to week and it is rather fun spotting the big names from the stage and screen. These include young newcomers: Michael Crawford, Nanette Newman, and David McCallum.
I think these videos are worth buying because in addition to Sir Francis Drake, the other programmes include Robin Hood, William Tell and Sir Lancelot.
