William Russell as Sir Lancelot

William Russell, best known for being part of the original cast of Doctor Who, in his first big television role, the lead in "The Adventures of Sir Lancelot", in 1956.
Although made for a British audience, the series was shown on NBC, one of the major broadcast networks in the USA, a very rare occurrence, and the last fourteen of the thirty half-hour episodes were shot in colour, though they were only seen in black and white in Britain.

Consequently, there were enough colour pictures for reference for me to colour this informal "between takes" shot.
