Clearly I am Robin Hood obsessed, the legend and the ideal. I am now making my way through my 6th interpretation of it and loving it. Most recently I've been looking at what's online of The New Adventures of Robin Hood, it's the Xena and Hercules era version - Robin's American, the outfits are hilarious, but I adore the characters, Robin's gorgeous, there's an awesome community hidden in the forest, and Marion uses a whip. What more could you want? Well, a little more resolution on the Robin and Marion relationship rather than just jealousy of attention the other gets from the opposite sex, heated bickering, and the occasional admittance of something there. Someone release this on DVD please!

So now it's the real old classic black and white version, simply The Adventures of Robin Hood. No, not the film of the same name though that is made of awesome for a spirited Marian, everything looks gorgeous, and no one slaps a thigh quite like Errol Flynn! I'm enjoying seeing the similarities between all the interpretations, the things added in (a Saracen outlaw first appeared in Robin of Sherwood, folks!), and just the great plain and simple message of encouragement to stand up for what's right, no matter the consequences. Cheesy in this day and age, but it's still relevant. I love it!

A dark episode, but a really good one different in tone. Nice work all round.

I feel some overarching themes being established in episode 3, it's really interesting to ponder where the series may end up.

There was so much to like in tonight's RH episode and I just couldn't resist it.

First episode of the second Robin Hood series and I am pleasantly surprised and reminded of why I loved series 1 so much - this rocked.
