The End of Robin

About two days ago I finished the last series of Robin of Sherwood with Jason Connery.  Although I found Michael Praed to be a far superior Robin in the earlier series than Master Connnery was in the last I was sad to see it end.  Especially since it ended rather tragically, but I will not say why in case any of you have not seen it, which you should.

I absolutely recommend this progamme, sure it’s a bit dated, and some, well… most of the fight scenes are pretty laughable but it really does hold a beautifully romantic view of the Hooded Man Tales.  You get to see Ray Winstone at work as a younger and slightly less rounded man, hear a great soundtrack by Clannad and get completely pulled into some brilliant and original story lines.  It has a mystical atmosphere and some great characters such as Nasir the Saracen and Much the Miller’s Son who you come across less often in other version of Robin Hood if at all.  And of course, which I haven’t even mentioned yet, the role of Herne who is Robin’s guide after having named Robin as his son.

The full Robin of Sherwood series can be perchased at Amazon.

 

As they say….. Herne Protect Us!!!
