I did watch it - I may have missed that one. I remember vividly the episode regarding the leper. Those series were iconic, IMO - Claudius, Brother Cadfael, and others.

Cadfael is heading back to the monastery at night when he walks into a fight with bandits. He dispatches a few of them with a quarterstaff to the approval of a young warrior also caught in the fight.

WARRIOR: Good father, where did you learn to wield the quarterstaff like that?

CADFAEL: I am but a mere brother, but I was in the late Crusade.

WARRIOR: You were at the Siege of Jerusalem?!

CADFAEL: I was.

WARRIOR: We must share a tankard of ale. I must hear about that.

It turns out that the young warrior is Cadfael's son by a Muslim woman he bedded during the Crusade before he became a religious brother.
