Arthur of the Britons is a British TV show that tells a story about the famous King Arthur. It was different from other Arthur stories because it tried to show a more historical version of him. The show had two seasons, which aired between 1972 and 1973.
This TV series shows King Arthur as a great leader. He works to bring peace between the two main groups of people in England at that time. These groups were the Celts and the Saxons.
Interestingly, King Arthur and his close friend Kai in the show looked a bit like rock stars from the 1970s. Arthur of the Britons was shown many times on different local ITV channels throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
