Clip description

The mysterious stranger Jobah (Samuel Johnson) and Princess Neri (Marnie Reece-Wilmore) learn more about each other. Neri explains why she helped him escape from her uncle’s prison and Jobah reveals that he is the Prince of Bandor.

Curator’s notes

This clip captures a little more of Neri and her loyal sidekicks and it begins to reveal some of the mystery of who Jobah is. It also encapsulates the tone of the series, which doesn’t emphasise overt violence. As explained by Media World producer Colin South, ‘We instead have people using their powers of thought, persuasion and magic’.
