    Well this is going to be a regular in my household now the little ones have got the bug for saturday evening tele, after Doctor Who showed them the way.

    Found the comedy a little stretched at times from Much, but enjoyed Robins style, at least he don't sound like a southerner. Would like to see the involvement of the Green man again but it doesn't look promising on that front so far.

    It's pretty good, but I've seen so much of Robin over the years his apeal has started to wane. I think they should do a show about St. George, imagine a peasant becoming a knight and then leading an army and then killing a dragon and then becoming a holy saint!

    I thought it was rather good.. I look forward to seeing it progress!!! I love the fact that Saturday evening TV has become family friendly again with such shows as this!!! Nice one BBC!!! Heehee!!

    As we are also talking about othe Robin Hoods! Don't forget about 'Maid Marian and Her Merry Men'!!

    Robin of Sherwood is the only Robin Hood series for me. They will never match it, despite the first Robin being a bit of a ponce, and the second being completely unable to act. [​IMG]
