Topic: Robin of Sherwood


  
  Robin of Sherwood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Together with Richard Lester's offbeat 1976 film Robin and Marian, Robin of Sherwood is probably the most influential treatment of the core Robin Hood legend since The Adventures of Robin Hood, being the first to introduce a realistic period setting and introducing the character of a Saracen outlaw.
As in the legend, Robin is opposed by the Sheriff of Nottingham (Nickolas Grace) and Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Robert Addie), as well as the Sheriff's brother Abbot Hugo (Philip Jackson) (representing all the greedy abbots in the legends).
Robin is assisted by Herne the Hunter (John Abineri), who sometimes appears as a forest spirit representing the powers of light and goodness, and sometimes as a mortal man.

 Robin of Sherwood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the original folk tales of the Middle Ages, Robin Hood was named as one Robin of Loxley, and given the social status of a common man forced to flee the justice of his Lord and survive in the depths of the forest by robbing travellers along the roads which ran through it.
This drastic change in Robin's status was due mostly to the fact that the new printed editions of the story were within the reach only of the relatively wealthy, most of whom were still members of the aristocracy.
Both were called 'Robin Hood', but the first was Robin of Loxley and the second was Robert, Earl of Huntingdon.

 BBC - h2g2 - 'Robin of Sherwood' - The Television Series
The real Robin Hood was the Hooded Man, who led his band of outlaws from the greenwood against the tyranny of the Norman ruling classes, in the ITV television series Robin of Sherwood.
So when the leading man of Robin of Sherwood, Michael Praed, was lured away to the USA by a role in the soap opera Dynasty it was to these conflicting identities that the writer looked to resolve the problem posed by the loss of Robin of Loxley from the cast.
Prior to Robin of Sherwood there was little or no such content in the treatment of the legend, and its addition to the tale added a new perspective, linking one of England's most enduring heroes of legend to the pagan past of the nation.

 Introduction - Robin Hood Loxley Little John Hathersage legend outlaw Barnsdale Nottingham crusades chivalry
Unfortunately Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire isn’t in the rhymes although Nottingham is. Disregarding the fact that the rhymes are set in northern England, J.R. Planche in 1864AD transferred Robin Hood south to Warwickshire and in the 1980`s Jim Lees did the same for Nottingham.
The context in which the words Robin Hood are used in conjunction with people and places suggests associations with lawlessness rather than it being the name of a particular outlaw.
Robin Hood otherwise known as Robert Dore of Wadsley was outlawed for taking part in the Peasants Revolt.

ROBIN OF SHERWOOD was defective from the start but it got worse at the end of Season 1 and start of Season 2 when they switched Robin Hoods on us.
