The Flashing Blade (Le Chevalier Tempête) is a French television serial made in the late 1960s, which was broadcast in the UK on BBC children's television during the 1960s, with several re-runs in the early 1970s.
Dubbed from French into English, the action was set in 17th century France, during a period of war between France and Spain.
The dubbing was not exactly brilliant, so in the 1980s John Culshaw redubbed a comedy version (which is the one I remember best).
In the '60s and '70s the BBC had a habit of buying childrens programmes from European countries which were then very badly dubbed into English - often to hilarious effect.

Argentina, like the USA, is a country made of immigrants. This Gran Hotel de Immigrantes is the equivalent of USA's Ellis Island. it is where millions of immigrants first came ashore in Argentina. The majority came from Italy and Spain, but many other countries are represented, as well. The Immigrant Hotel is where the people cleared customs and immigration, received food, shelter and medical care. Many people stayed temporarily in the hotel while waiting for family waiting in Argentina to retrieve them. Built in 1905-1911 to replace a smaller building – not at the same site – there is a museum within the main dining hall of the hotel. The complex is on the north side of the Darsena Norte in Puerto Madero.
