The BBC's dramatisation of PC Wren's classic novel stars Benedict Taylor as Michael 'Beau' Geste. Taylor was well known for his roles in children's television drama.
The other brothers were played by Jonathon Morris who would later become better known in the comedy Bread. Anthony Calf who some years later in New Tricks.
All three are absent on the first episode. The Geste family are children, their aunt Lady Brandon has a valuable gem.
Before that Major de Beaujolais approaches Fort Zinderneuf approaches Fort Zinderneuf only to find the soldiers are dead. They were under attack and the legionnaires had little time for Sergeant-Major Lejaune.
This version of Beau Geste was made for the BBC teatime slot. A quarry and some blue screen stood in for the desert. It was a little confusing with the flashback.
