I enjoyed this series, although I didn't like it as much as "Robin Of Sherwood", or the Patrick Bergin and Kevin Costner Robin Hood films from the 90s. The cast were generally very good, especially Robin, Little John, Alan A Dale and Much, and I also very much enjoyed Guy Of Gisbourne, who looks like an evil Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet. Keith Allen's Sheriff is a bit too OTT and anachronistic for my liking, and Maid Marion is a bit too heavily made up and common looking, although I think she is a reasonably good actress. Costumes, sets and locations met with my approval, not sure about replacing Friar Tuck with a Muslim transvestite. All in all, an entertaining, action packed series of good family entertainment! And who cares whether mediaeval peasants wore hooded tops and combat trousers anyway?
