Currently watching HTV's Robin of Sherwood courtesy of Network's Blu-ray set.
A trip down nostalgia lane for me in many respects as my dad purchased the set on VHS based solely on his love of Clannad who did the theme music, and my brother and I used to spend many enjoyable hours watching it and re-watching it when we were younger. For me, under Carpenter's writing,with Praed's portrayal of Robin, and a solid supporting cast, this is the definitive Robin Hood experience which cannot be bettered. I also love the ritualistic overtones, what with sorcery, paganism, folklore and witchcraft being prominent themes throughout the series; albeit put across in a more TV friendly way.
