Have Gun, Will Travel was first screened in the U.S. on CBS in 1957 and proved to be one of the most successful television programmes of the late fifties. Its success was probably due to the mixture of two of the most popular genres in the U.S., the Western and the role of the Private Eye. Paladin is the name for the White Knight piece in chess, and the character of Paladin was essentially that of a latter day Robin Hood who was educated and cultured, a high-priced gun-for-hire with morals, in the words of the show's theme song...a knight without armour in a savage land.
