Episode 23 – Sword of the Valiant (The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight) (1984)

Sean Connery on a white horse, wearing elaborate armor and a horned headpiece. He is holding an axe. The best part is the poofy, frizzy shoulder-length hair he is sporting.

Timed to coincide with the current film The Green Knight, this episode has readings in Middle English, an increasingly-irate Mary expounding on the meanderings of medieval literature, and some truly terrible music. Medieval literature and Arthuriana is very much Mary’s wheelhouse, so buckle in, and avoid any Sean Connerys you see carrying an axe.
