The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel

1954 -1956

A British television series based on the adventure novel of the same name by Baroness Emmuska Orczy.
The series, produced by the Towers of London and was created by writer Michael Hogan; it ran from 1956
for a total of eighteen episodes.

Starring Marius Goring as Sir Percy Blakeney (aka the Scarlet Pimpernel)

The program began filming in 1954 and was not completed until 1956. Despite the show being well received,
the show did not run for a second season because the producers and Hogan thought they had exhausted
all the story lines possible. The series starred Marius Goring as Sir Percy Blakeney (aka the Scarlet Pimpernel),
along with Stanley Van Beers as Chauvelin, Patrick Troughton as Sir Andrew Ffoulkes, Anthony Newlands as
Lord Richard Hastings, Alexander Gauge as George, The Prince Regent and Lucie Mannheim as Countess
La Valliere. Mannheim and Goring were husband and wife at the time of the series filming.


All eighteen episodes are presented here. The quality is 8 out of 10 and higher for many episodes.
