Video - Rare TV Episode of Robin Hood (1953) - "The Abbot of St. Mary's"

Will wonders never cease? Although Patrick Troughton is my all-time favorite Doctor Who I had no idea this existed. I’ve had a lot of fun watching him in his many Hammer film appearances and looking for him as a supporting player in dozens of other movies over the span of his career but this early lead role is a complete surprise. He seems to have played Robin in all six episodes of this 1953 production but this brief snippet is all that remains. Damned shame as I would gladly pay to see the entire run out of curiosity at the least. Amusingly, Troughton also popped up on the later show The Adventures of Robin Hood (1956-1960) as a guest playing different characters in several episodes. Check out this piece of BBC history!
