- It is 12th century Palestine and the Saracens wait to ambush King Richard
- the Lionheart. The Doctor manages to save Richard and Barbara is kidnapped
- by the Saracens. Ian rescues her but the main plotline of the story involves
- Richard's attempt to end the Holy War by marrying his sister, Joanna, to
- Saladin's brother.
- This story was most notable for the appearance of Shakespearian actor
- Julian Glover in the role of Richard. His acceptance of the role meant that
- the programme gained some value amongst the more established acting set and
- as a result, "name" actors wanted to appear on the show.
