Banished from England for wanting to marry against his father's wishes, Ivanhoe joins Richard the Lionheart on a crusade in the Holy Land. On his return, his passionate desire is to be reunited with the beautiful but forbidden lady Rowena, but he soon finds himself playing a more dangerous game as he is drawn into a bitter power struggle between the noble King Richard and his evil and scheming brother John. Ivanhoe is set in a highly romanticized medieval world of tournaments and sieges, chivalry and adventure where dispossessed Saxons are pitted against their Norman overlords. The BBC's classic adaptation was a Sunday evening favourite. Directed by David Maloney, the 10-part series starred Eric Flynn as Ivanhoe and Anthony Bate as his main rival, the corrupt Knight Templar Brian de Bois-Guilbert. Review: A long awaited re-creation of a childhood memory. - I loved this 1970 BBC series when I saw it twice as a child and have never forgotten it, having read the book twice since and watched other versions with a critical eye. I have searched many times to find out information about this version, and thought it must have been lost from the BBC archives, so I was amazed to see that it is now available on DVD. Of all the film and TV versions of Ivanhoe, this remains the definitive version for me in spite of its faults (such as some weird colours, and comical chants of "Normandy" or "England" in the tournament scenes). I dislike the Hollywood film version, and admire the BBC 1997 version in many ways, but although this 1970 BBC version lacks some realism by modern standards, it is still the version that faithfully represents the book and the characters in it. Next time I watch it (and I'm sure I will), I'll turn off the colour to recreate my fond childhood memory with even more accuracy. A gem! Review: Good drama - A good adaption from the book and a classic BBC rendering . I like vintage tv and it didn’t seem to me to be outdated . In some ways better than the later adaption that had the actors talking in theses & thouse in olde English though that is how the book was written by Walter Scott . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071P1LXLQ | | Actors | Anthony Bate, Clare Jenkins, Clive Graham, Eric Flynn, Peter Dyneley | | Best Sellers Rank | 32,503 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 7,271 in Television (DVD & Blu-ray) 10,084 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | Poland | | Customer reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (42) | | Language | English | | Manufacturer reference | 5019322675396 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 2 | | Producers | Campbell Logan, John McRae | | Product Dimensions | 1.7 x 13.6 x 18 cm; 100 g | | Release date | 18 Sept. 2017 | | Run time | 4 hours and 10 minutes | | Studio | Simply Media | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Alexander Baron | ## Images ![Ivanhoe: The Complete Series - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+LzFoBncL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A long awaited re-creation of a childhood memory. *by S***W on 15 May 2018* I loved this 1970 BBC series when I saw it twice as a child and have never forgotten it, having read the book twice since and watched other versions with a critical eye.

A gem! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good drama *by D***R on 18 January 2024* A good adaption from the book and a classic BBC rendering . I like vintage tv and it didn’t seem to me to be outdated . In some ways better than the later adaption that had the actors talking in theses & thouse in olde English though that is how the book was written by Walter Scott . ### ⭐⭐⭐ Low budget adaptation - and it shows *by E***S on 18 November 2021* I have not read Sir Walter Scott's novel on which this serial is based but it seems strange to me that the hero of the saga, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, spends much of the time wincing and squirming over an injury sustained early on. Anyway, the production seems very cheaply made with the Norman army consisting of about a dozen men, mostly on foot having to run after a couple of Knights Templar who are fortunate to have the only horses available. The action scenes are little better with poor fighting and poor acting. What is noticeable in this serial made before everyone became PC is the language and attitudes directed at the Jewish characters: I doubt such language would be considered permissible today. The DVD box set consists of all ten episodes over two discs. The image quality is good and the aspect ratio is 4:3. There are optional English subtitles but no other extras. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/67953584-ivanhoe-the-complete-series](https://www.desertcart.at/products/67953584-ivanhoe-the-complete-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
