Top review. The best retelling of the Robin Hood legend - ever! This retelling weaves myth and magic with the Robin Hood legend and, indeed, Robin becomes associated with the forest god, Herne the Hunter reinforcing the idea that Robin is a medieval incarnation of The Green Man the 'foliate head' of the old religion which is often found carved on many churches.

The scripts were were well written, the plotting well thought out and the characters - and ensemble cast - excellent. In particular, congratulations to Mark Ryan - who became Nasir the Saracen.

Due to be killed off at the end of the the first episode, he was so good, that he remained as a permanent cast member. Ultimately, though, the series' immediate appeal was due to the amazing on-screen chemistry between its two leads, Michael Praed and the beautiful Judi Trott as the first Robin and his Marion.

Praed's youthful, dark, good looks had an almost 'fey' quality which made the magical element entirely believable. And by 'fey' I don't mean to imply any loss of masculinity. The first two seasons - with Praed - were by far the best. In the third season, Jason Connery had a hell of a task following an actor so perfect for the Robin role, but he did reasonably well and the strong ensemble cast carried the change of lead well.

Richard Carpeneter's wise decision to make the new 'Robin Hood' a completely different character with a completely different background was a very wise move. Some might say that 'debt' was putting it mildly!

Costner not only retained the Saracen who until Nasir had never been a Robin Hood character at all but he filmed in many of the same locations; used the same horsemaster Stevie Dent and clung to the magical elements - though being a good old American boy stuck to the idea of Christianity good - old religion bad, whereas Robin of Sherwood often showed the political corruption of the Church historically accurate and the simple spirituality of the old religion unrelated to 'black' magic.

What more can I say? If you've never seen Robin of Sherwood, rush out and buy the complete thing on DVD - I guarantee you'll watch it again and again for the lovely filmic quality of the camera work, the leisurely but never dull pacing which invests in the attention span and intelligence of its audience , the acting, the ideas, the very real emotional kick and much praised the delightful music by Clannad.

And did I mention Michael Pread? Details Edit. Release date January 15, United States. United Kingdom. Robin of Sherwood. Technical specs Edit. The sheriff returns to Nottingham, passing through Sherwood. Will decides that Robin's plans to ambush him is not good enough and attempts to attack the sheriff and his men with only Little john, Nazir and Friar Tuck at his side.

It all goes badly wrong, Tuck is badly injured and Robin is furious, a fury that grows when he discovers tha attitude of the local villagers they take Tuck to. Back in Nottingham the sheriff is approached by Joshua De Talmont, a jewish moneylender, demanding the money that the sheriff owes him.

The sheriff is not best pleased about being challenged for money he owes and 'suggests' to Guy that a tide of anti jewish sentiments may strike Nottingham, as it has in London and other towns, and lead to the death of De Talmont in the riots. Gisburne, left in charge of Nottingham by the Sheriff, hires a group of vicious mercenaries to hunt down the outlaws.

Unfortunate timing for Robin and company. It is the time of the Blessing when no blood can be shed or the villagers will not have a good harvest that year. The outlaws must use cunning and trickery to defeat Gisburne and the mercenaries. Robin is bewitched by Lilith, one of followers of the not-quite-late Simon de Belleme, and tricked into helping to bring the Baron back to life. At the same time, the Sheriff schemes to take possession of the Baron's legendary cache of gems.

A group of pious and well-respected nuns are in reality a coven of witches. They need all of the Seven Swords of Wayland for some very heavy-duty conjuring. The only sword they don't have is Robin's Albion. Robin and his band battle to prevent Morgwyn of Ravenscar from harnessing the power of the sword of Albion.

Threatened with the loss of his position, the Sheriff pulls out all stops to find Robin. He captures most of the band in Wickham and hunts down the rest with hounds. Finally, only Robin, Marion and Much are alone on a hill, facing an army. After the death of Loxley, the outlaw band have gone their separate ways. Robert of Huntingdon, the man called by Herne, has rejected his calling, saying no one else could be The Hooded Man. He cannot escape his destiny.

Robert's father, the Earl of Huntingdon, hosts a party to gain favor with vile, border lord Owen of Clun. Marion of Leaford attends with her father, who has bought her a pardon from the king. Clun makes unseemly advances toward Marion.

When no one else will help her, Robert, to his father's horror, defends her in a swordfight against Clun. When Clun kidnaps Marion, Robert must reassemble the outlaw band to rescue her. Before his death, Loxley gave Albion to Marion. She has kept it safe for the past year at the home of her father, who has begged her to have no more to do with the outlaws. She attempts to give it to Robert, but he still says no one could take Loxley's place. When the band tries to stop a torturer en route to Nottingham, Robert is wounded by a poisoned arrow and falls gravely ill.

After returning home from going to aid Robert, Marion and Albion are taken by the Sheriff. Robert is able to masquerade as a shallow, young nobleman and make friends with the Sheriff as part of a scheme to free Marion.

After the true powers of Albion are revealed, Robert, whom everyone now calls Robin, knows he is truly Herne's son. An old man and his beautiful daughter live alone in the ancient castle of Caerleon. They are about to be attacked by a horde of brigands led to the castle by a former employee of the old man's. This traitor knows there is a priceless treasure in the castle, but never found out exactly what it was.

The daughter seeks out Robin Hood to defend her, her father and the treasure that is beyond price although it's not something the robbers would find useful! Robin must ultimately make a staggering choice of loyalty. Robert de Rainault, high Sheriff of Nottingham, failing one time too many to end the activities of Robin Hood, is dismissed by the king and replaced by Philip Mark, ""The Butcher of Lincoln"".

Mark captures 6 villagers from Wickham and sends out word that Robin Hood must turn himself in or the captives will die the next noon, and six more the day after that until Robin is captured. Nasir must face the new Sheriff's servant, Sarak, a masked assassin out of the Saracen's past.

Robin and his band rescue from bandits a desperately ill woman en route to the shrine of St. Ciricus at Croxden Abbey. She confesses a startling secret to Tuck and later to Robin. Gisburne, on orders from the Sheriff, is also on his way to the Abbey to steal the sacred cross. Robin must stop him, but finds the nature of their enmity has changed. After Much is injured in a pit trap, the outlaws seek help for him at the nearest village, Cromm Cruac, a place no one has heard of until now.

All is not right, as becomes evident by the things the men see and the way some of them begin to act. Robin must confront Gulnar, a sorceror who once served Owen of Clun. King John, furious over the disappearance of the past several tax collections from Nottingham, schemes to put an end to the outlaws by ending their popular support.

A band of his soldiers, led by the merciless Roger de Carnac, masquerades as Robin's band, committing atrocities against villagers throughout the shire. The Sheriff's young nephew, Martin, is kidnapped by Adam Bell, an aging outlaw who was the Robin Hood of his day, but now robs only for himself. The Sheriff, using his hostage, Much, as a bargaining chip, persuades Robin to rescue the boy from Bell. Taking up with a 12 year old French princess, King John has anulled his marriage to Queen Hadwisa, who vows revenge against her former husband and the new queen, Isabella.
