Episodes
Knights in Distress
As part of his attempts to modernise the kingdom, King Otto has commissioned a hydro-electric dam. Unfortunately he is too mean to build it to the highest safety standards. On the day the dam is inaugurated the Big Knights are out rescuing Princesses Lucy and Loretta from a tower where they have locked themselves in. The knights' rescue attempts involve Sir Morris being blasted into the stratosphere.
Ethel and the Imp
When their housekeeper, Mrs. Minion, takes a hard earned day off and Sir Doris scoffs the food she has left for them, the Big Knights fear they will starve to death. An evil imp appears and offers to cook breakfast if Sir Morris will sign a contract dedicating his life to evil in return. Sir Morris agreed immediately.
Knight School
The Middle Ages ended 500 years ago but as far as the Big Knights are concerned, the age of chivalry is far from dead. Disillusioned with modern ideas of knighthood, they decide to set up an old-fashioned school for knights. Unfortunately they attract the wrong sort of student with disastrous consequences
Time Protonosphere
The exercise wheel in Sir Doris' cage develops an annoying squeak which Sir Boris and Sir Morris are unable to cure, so they seek the advice of Professor Von Proton, the finest mind in Borovia. The professor uses the Big Knights as guinea pigs to test his new time travelling machine.
The Land of the Vampires
Exhausted by their recent exploits, Sir Boris and Sir Morris yearn for a nice quiet, relaxing holiday, somewhere hot and sunny, and with absolutely no chance of adventure or disaster
Sir Morris and the Beanstalk
Sir Boris reads "Jack and the Beanstalk" to his brother as a bedtime story. Unfortunately, Sir Morris takes the tale a little too literally
The Village Games
The villagers of Borodzo put in place a cunning but risky plan to keep Sir Boris and Sir Morris away from their annual sports day. They should have known better

Lost Doris
Sir Morris is cast into a deep depression when Sir Doris escapes from her cage. Sir Boris proposes every amusement he can think of to cheer him up, but in vain. So, the Big Knights ride out to find Sir Doris. All they need do is follow the trail of devasted restaurants and stupefied Borovians as she eats her way through the country. No one is more surprised than Sir Morris to discover where Sir Doris has gone to ground.
Clockwork Knights
Due to an error in the royal accounts, village Borodzo acquires a wonderous new clock at King Otto's expense.
The Troll Bridge
King Otto takes the court out for a Sunday afternoon drive and unexpectedly encounters a strange little man barring his way across an insignificant bridge. When none of his courtiers can deal with the upstart, the King summons the Big Knights.
Proton Power
Against the advice of his own scientists, King Otto invests in Professor von Proton's new power source for Borovia. Proton Power is cheap, but it's also dirty, smelly, highly unstable and comes with the potential for mass destruction. A perfect case for the Big Knights to get stuck in to.
The Royal Escort
When King Otto's fearsome sisters Lily and Iris send word they wish to entertain their nieces Lucy and Loretta, Sir Boris and Sir Morris volunteer to escort the princesses to their aunts' distant castle. On meeting the redoubtable ladies the Big Knights experience a peculiar feeling.
