"The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel," produced in 1955, was one of the earliest of the costume adventure series, produced by Harry Alan Towers' Towers of London Productions.

"The Adventures of Robin Hood" is the most important, most influential, and longest running of the costume adventure series, running for three seasons on CBS from 1955 to 1958.

This is a bundled set of 15 volumes of the "Robin Hood" series for a total of 60 episodes. Alpha has also issued five additional volumes.

Mill Creek delivers the third season of the classic adventure show starring Richard Greene.

It's hard to go wrong with this budget priced set of all 143 episodes from the classic Richard Greene adventure series.

This is the only complete U.S. release of Robert Shaw's 1956-57 CBS adventure series. The visual quality is quite good, but the Mill Creek logo appears in the bottom right corner of the screen a few times during each episode.

Here's a bundle of episodes from "The Buccaneers" offered by Alpha Video. Alpha is now up to seven volumes, each with four episodes.

This is a bit of a cheat as it's an Australian series (Australia's first) and not a British series, but it fits nicely in this group of costume adventure series of the 1950s. This 2-DVD set from the Platinum Disc Corporation (now Echo Bridge Entertainment) includes 13 of the series' 26 episodes. Robert Newton reprises his role from two previous theatrical films.
