Sir Yellow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Yellow was a British TV sitcom aired on ITV from July 15 - August 19 1973. It starred Jimmy Edwards in the title role and also featured Melvyn Hayes, Alan Curtis and Michael Ripper. The show was set in the 13th Century and followed the misadventures of a cowardly, womanising, alcoholic Knight. The programme was axed after just one series following bad reviews and in 2003 the TV critic Mark Lewisohn named it the 20th worst British Sit-Com of all time in his book, The Radio Times Guide to TV Comedy.
