The Adventures of William Tell 1958-1959

The Adventures of William Tell is a British swashbuckler adventure series, first broadcast on the ITV network in 1958. Stories revolved around William Tell (Conrad Phillips) a brave bowman fighting against a tyrant. This was a much harder show than others of the genre with crossbow bolts often killing people and Tell fighting hard hand-to-hand battles, which often resulted in the death of the bad guy.
