The “Last” Episode, and the Unbroadcast in the UK Episode 13…

The article mentions that the “last episode” lost vision on the first two showings, but fails to mention that the original French series was 13 episodes in length, and that the (faulty) Episode 12 was originally the penultimate episode when shown in France. Episode 13 wasn’t included in the run, and wasn’t dubbed into English, perhaps being seen as unnecessary, given that rather than being sword fights and battles and action scenes, it’s the chevalier returning home after the war, and finding love, and is more of a potscript than essential to the plot of the preceding episodes. Confusingly, further broadcasts of the series were, according to listings in The Radio Times available on-line, made in eleven (1978) and even ten (1979) episode versions. I don’t know if the listings are correct, nor (if true) whether they dropped intermediate episodes, or if they simply continued to lop an episode or two off the end of the series… Jock123 (talk) 11:01, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
