Review of Robin Hood

Robin Hood (2006–2009)
Such a shame
2 September 2011
Robin Hood is such an important Character in English Folklore and has developed over the centuries to what we have today. Each Century has added something that the people of that period can relate to. In the 20th century we finally get to see our hero on the silver screen with such acting legends as Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn, Richard Greene and others. I loved the Adventures of Robin Hood on TV back in the 60s and it still has appeal today with fine actors and good story lines, and if you ever get chance to give it a rewatch then do. I remember playing with the Airfix Little Soldiers of Robin Hood and Sheriff of Nottingham inspired by this TV show (Still Have them some place). Which is now 50 years old and still fondly remembered. I wonder in 50 years time who will remember this new series? I am trying to wipe it from my memory already. Its an insult to the Legends of Robin Hood with poor acting and awful costume design, and why is Robin using that silly little boys bow, should it not be the Longbow? A mans bow? I hope one day someone will do another TV series that will re write the wrongs of this trash that insults our heritage and memories of heroes lost
