In episode six of Battle of the Pilots, Adrian and Graham from the Zapped to the Past podcast have chosen the pilot episodes for two somewhat obscure action hero based shows from the dark depths of 90s TV land for a head to head battle. This time the undoubtedly roid rage infused sword wielding bodybuilding muscles of Conan the Adventurer go loincloth to bycocket hat with the cross, longbow and arrow crammed Quivers of The Legend of William Tell. Let battle commence!
