(Cunningly lifted from Network Video's
website.)<br>"ROBIN OF SHERWOOD <br>The definitive depiction of the
Robin Hood legend makes its dvd debut on 11 March 2002.
Series 1 starring Michael Praed will be available as a
double box set (which includes a bonus disc) and as two
individual volumes, Series 2 will be available in May with
series 3 scheduled for September and October."<br><br>So
it looks like the Jason series will be split in two
to make it more like the Praed series...

where are the new DVDs being released? i live in Denver Colorado USA and am
hoping it will be here...

Hi Y'all ,<br><br>A happy New Year to all fellow RoS fans ! <br>Have a safe and
healthy year with lots of<br>Robin Hood pleasure ! (DVD's !
etc...)<br><br>Phoenixbe

Oh come on, has no one any more quotes from the
show?<br><br>Charlotte.<br><br>In the mean time take time to read this from
Alan-A-Dale<br><br>"My heart is heavy as a stone,<br>My tears they fall
like rain,<br>For she who was my one true
love,<br>I'll never see again, again,<br>I'll never see again."
(Alan)<br><br>"Maybe she heard you singing!" (Robin)

Robin also won my heart, way back in the 80's.
Amazon.com stock To Die For 2. When the first screen appears
if you search for Michael Praed under VHS, it will
give you all the videos they stock that he stars in.
Beware, To Die For is rather expensive, but he's worth it
right! Happy hunting.

Robin won my heart with those beautiful green
eyes,long dark locks,pale skin, high cheekbones,
tall(6'),etc. How can you not fall for him? He can have these
loving looks, which makes you feel he loves YOU! God
help me, I've fallen and I can't get up! In "To Die
For: Son of Darkness" he played Vlad Teppes(DRACULA!).
I've never actually seen it. I would let HIM bite my
neck!:)<br>Does anyone know how I can see, or buy, that
movie?<br><br> Lady Cathryn<br><br>P.S. I think he's the most
handsome man in the world.Please don't make fun of me!

Do you know how I could buy RoS DVDs and posters?I live in California, which is
in America.<br><br>                Thanks!<br>           Maura Walden<br>

Sheriff: Stop playing around in the mud Gisburne and come up here.<br>Gisburne:
(Looks heavenward)<br><br>Char

My favorite, although all I've read recently are great, is the Sheriff to Abbott
Hugo...'One headstrong Saxon virgin for ten acres? Seems like a bargain to me,
eh? Hugo.

Okay so I have quite a few favorite quotes and
here's some of them..lol<br> Maeve<br><br><br>"You
thought, did you Gisburne...What a pity I wasn't here.." -
Sheriff<br><br>"Tuck! Get the food ready.." - Little John<br>"It's
always me.." - Tuck<br>"Well, do you want me to cook
it?" - Little John<br>"No, once was enough.." -
Tuck<br><br>"Do you like handsome men, ma petite chou-chou?" -
Bertrand de Nivelle <br>"Yeah. Do you know any?" - Meg

For those of you in the Flambards group, I have
equally forgot almost everything about this series apart
from the fact that I loved the music and I loved the
shows.<br><br>I only wish that I could remember any quotes from
it too, sorry Hawkdeath, but it's been a long time.
I must get hold of the
videos.<br><br>TTFN<br><br>Paul

OK, of course there are many.<br><br>Meg: Why do
they call you Little John?<br><br>That is a classic
for me and: -<br><br>Robin: I thought I told you to
stay in Sherwood!<br>John: You ungrateful bastard.

I have many favourites ... but one of my
favourites is of 'Seven Poor Knights of Acre' .<br>When Much
is captured by the Knights Templar and the Sheriff
and Gisburne arrive in the village where the knights
are camped .<br>The reaction of Gisburne when he sees
Much tied to a pole in the village ...<br>Gisburne :
"My Lord ! The half wit , the half wit !"<br>Sheriff
: "Wich one ?!"<br><br>This one allways cracks me
up !<br>But hey , there are so many great moments
!<br><br>Phoenixbe

Just wondering what peoples favourite quotes are
from the series (besides the obvious
ones!)<br><br>Here's one of mine to get the ball rolling:<br><br>"I'm
going to cut you into pieces!" - Owen of Clunn<br>"How
many?" - Robert of Huntingdon

That would be great! :)<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Nath

I did see a copy of the 1986 annual about a year
ago in a second hand book stall in Bristol, I think
it was selling for something stupid like 50p maybe
less, I'll keep a look out for you if you
like.<br><br>Char.

Hello all :-) <br>If you want good Michael Praed
pictures, from the Robin of Sherwood series and his other
stuff Nytshaed's Shrine to Michael Praed is a great
site..here's the address
<br><a href=http://www.chaoticworks.com/praed/
target=new>http://www.chaoticworks.com/praed/</a><br><br>And for anyone who
wants to download clips from the
show Sherwood Visions is awesome! *G* here's the addy
for that
site<br><br><a href=http://www.worldzone.net/arts/sherwood/index.html
target=new>http://www.worldzone.net/arts/sherwood/index.html</a><br><br>Wasn't
sure if any of you saw either site before so I
thought I'd say hello and give you the addresses just in
case, take care and enjoy!<br> Maeve

Thanks :)<br><br>Game book 2 was The Sword of the
Templar, it is a sequal of sorts to "The Swords of
Wayland" where another sword survived along with Albion,
Elidor - I believe. Elidor was the Sword of Truth<br>(It
names Albion as the Sword of Loyalty)<br><br>You have
to save Herne and stuff, its quite cool
:)<br><br>Back Cover Quote: "Your enemy is a Knight Templar, Sir
Roger of Ledbury, and the force he wields threatens the
very existance of Herne the Hunter!<br><br>Why does
the Knight Templar so desire your downfall? Will you
be able to prevent him from achieving his goal or
has Robin of Sherwood met his match! Even with Albion
at your side, you will need all your strength and
resourcefulness to meet this challenge!"<br><br>Don't worry I'll
get over the jealousy as soon as I find a decent
second hand shop ;)<br><br>Got to go Manc to look for a
job so ill be gone a few
days,<br><br>Laters,<br><br>Nath

No problem!<br><br>I'll scan them when I get
chance, probably quite soon.<br><br>The King's Demon is a
game book requiring a dice that tells you where you
are wounded. Game book 1.<br><br>"Your object is to
overpower a new opponent, Sir Jean de Melusine, a cunning
and evil ally of the Sheriff. But Sir Jean has
magical powers, and you will need all your wit and
strength to combat the Forces of Darkness that he plans to
unleash!"<br><br>Quoted from back cover.<br><br>Char.<br>(Sorry about the
jealous thing)

Any chance of cover scans?<br><br>Theres an
opurtunity to buy a copy of "The King's Demon" on amazon's
z-shop (no idea what it is!) For £5 and im deeply,
deeply tempted.<br><br>Was "The Greatest Enemy" ever
novelised? Just wondered cos it comes between "The Swords of
Wayland" (which i assume is the Hounds of Lucifer book,)
and Roberts first adventures.<br><br>And yes I am
jealous! hehe<br><br>Nath

Don't want to make you jealous (although I am
regarding "Sword of the Templar") but I have a couple of
other books that you may find interesting. "The King's
Demon" game book, "Robin of Sherwood and the Hounds of
Lucifer" and "The Hooded Man" (about Robert's first few
encounter's ie The Power of Albion etc"<br><br>Char ;)

Thanks :)<br>Sounds great, ill have to keep an
eye out for it!<br><br>Except for the videos the only
piece of merhendise i have is the "Sword of the
Templar" game book, with Jason on the front (ex-club
pic)<br><br>Nath

OK from start to finish:<br><br>Picture of Robin
and Albion on front cover, inset picture of Robin and
Marion.<br><br>Inside cover, split into four well five actually. The
"flying demons", Herne, Robin and Little John, Robin and
Marion (looking grubby), Robin firing an
arrow.<br><br>Contents page picture of Robin firing arrow.<br><br>A
Story "The Rebels" about a bunch of villagers that want
the reward money for the capture of the
Outlaws.<br><br>A Story "May Day", Marion gets captured and
rescued.<br><br>Pictures about some cast members, Robin and Herne tells
why he was chosen etc.<br><br>Marion, about where she
came from ie Leaford Grange and that Sir Richard
fought in the Holy Land.<br><br>Will Scarlet, tells
about his wife's death and how he met Robin in the
dungeon of Nottingham Castle.<br><br>A Story "Wolfshead"
Will goes a bit peculiar remembering his wife or
something then they capture Gisburne but as usual release
him.<br><br>A Story "The Slave" A girl is escaping from the
Sheriff with some information about capturing the outlaws
so they help her to rescue her sister who is being
held ransome or something.<br><br>More Pictures about
cast:<br>Little John tells how he was bewitched when he first met
Robin and how he was saved.<br><br>Friar Tuck tells how
he was Marion's Chaplain and then helped her to join
the outlaws, in doing so became one himself.<br><br>A

"The Relic" Something about a Virgin's milk being at
an Abbey and a girl being captured because of
it.<br><br>A Story "The Bishops Visit" Some actors come to
Nottingham to entertain the Sheriff and end up helping Robin
to get Gisburne in trouble basically and then help
them to get some treasure.<br><br>A Game "The Quest
for the Golden Goblet" a board game where Robin
starts at one end and the Sheriff the other. The first
one to get to the Goblet in the centre of the game
wins. Of course there are many pitfalls on the way such
as "Fall into a pond - miss a turn", "Drop your
sword - miss a turn". Loads of fun.<br><br>Back cover,
picture of Robin firing an arrow.<br><br>Hope this makes
you happy. In case you hadn't guessed I still have
the annual.<br><br>Char.

3.5 “The Sheriff of Nottingham” by Anthony
Horowitz<br><br>Now this I like! Can’t really fault it, (…and there
are plenty of Sheriffisms! J) very enjoyable. The
only downside is that you know by the end of it
everything will be normal, but that’s true of all Robin
episodes save “The Greatest Enemy” and * shudder * “The
Time of the Wolf.”<br><br>3.6 “The Cross of St
Ciricus” by Richard Carpenter<br><br>The masterstroke.
Sorry – the underused masterstroke. I think the next
time that Guy’s relationship to Robert is mentioned is
when Robert and Marion plan to marry in * shudder *
“The Time of the Wolf.”<br>Criminally underused
plotline.<br>A brilliant episode, which is surely one of the
best episodes of Robin of Sherwood?<br><br>3.7 “Cromm
Cruac” by Anthony Horowitz<br><br>Grrrr…. I hate Gulnar,
only “The Time of the Wolf” stops this being my least
favourite episode. Don’t like it. Never have. (The oddly
it’s one of the ones I remembered better from my
childhood.<br><br>3.8 “The Betrayal” by John Flanagan<br><br>Why
couldn’t this guy have written more? This one has
everything – twists, turns, suspense action… Yup, my
favourite non-Carpenter episode.<br><br>3.9 “Adam Bell” by
Anthony Horowitz<br><br>It’s safe to say that Volume 7 is
the worst, and least watched, tape in the collection.
This is the highlight. To my mind it answers the
question as to why Robin died at the end of “The Greatest
Enemy” – he needed to become a legend and not fade into
memory like Adam. The best Horowitz episode? (At least
Gulnar isn’t in it! And yes, I know I’m going to get
some response from Gulnar fans! Heh.)<br><br>3.10 “The
Pretender” by Anthony Horowitz<br><br>I’d say this was the
best Horowitz except for that damn He-Man style
ending… “So who was he?” says some one. Tuck I think. “Oh
just a Pretender…” says Robert. Swarmy grin. All
laugh.<br>God I hate that – I can see why some people think
Robert was a cocky Robin, but then we didn’t want a
carbon copy of Praed or what would be the
point?<br><br>3.11 “Rutterkin” by Richard
Carpenter<br><br>Carpenter’s swan song. Sheer Brilliance. Mr Horowitz – this
is how to do magik! Not a bald prat in sight! I
can’t praise this enough, the scene’s between Robert
and the Earl of Huntingdon are magic – and they hint
to the excellence that could have been, if only the
writers had have looked to Robert’s character and wrote
Robin stories dealing with that. He was the Hooded Man,
but he was also a noble! Grrr….<br><br>3.12 “The Time
of the Wolf” by Richard Carpenter<br>3.13 “The Time
of the Wolf” by Richard Carpenter<br><br>Do I have
to? Don’t make me… Ok I may be doing this an
injustice… …but I don’t think so. I don’t like it. There
really is only so many times I can watch Guy in fur
snarling “This. Is. The. Time. Of. The. Wolf!”<br>Good
points… Must remember that I’m trying to defend the
accursed thing… The whole army raising plot line was good…
Erm… The reference to the stone circle scene at the
end of the first series in “The King’s Fool.”<br>The
flame arrow scene was touching as always. (I can’t see
another way to have needed that, save killing a major
character…) But god, wasn’t Plaque Jason bad? “Hmmm… how can
I have Marion think he’s dead…. I know a snarling
clone! Genius.” Sorry Rich, but it was pants…<br>On the
subject of Marion what was all that I’m now a nun crap?
“I’m sorry Robins I only did that pagan stuff to get
into your pants – I never believed in Herne…”<br>Can’t
make this episode sound good. I hate it, I really
do….<br><br>In Summary:<br><br>There’s only 3 or 4 sub par
episodes. Some really sub par, I think you can guess which
ones I mean… ;) So give Robert a break, start on
Horowitz! Hehe. Sorry dude if you read this…!<br><br>Thanks
for reading,<br><br>Nath <br><br>(Glad he didn't have
to watch Time of the Wolf again for the purposes of
this post...!)

3.1 “Herne’s Son part 1”<br>3.2 “Herne’s Son part
2”<br>3.3 “The Power of Albion”<br> By Richard
Carpenter<br><br>Now it is safe to say that when writing Robin of
Sherwood, Carpenter was on fire (not literally!) personally
I see these three episodes as parts 2 – 4 of the
story begun in 2.7 “The Greatest Enemy.” (One of the
greatest TV episodes of all time?)<br>At least there
wasn’t a quick turnaround and instant change in Robin’s
and it does fit nicely into the conflicting base
myths of where Robin came from, so I think it was an
important change to make story-wise as well as obvious
actor reasons.<br>Of the four I think “The Power of
Albion” is the weakest, but I was glad after “Herne’s
Son” that Marion didn’t immediately go back to
outlaws.<br>And on a side night every time I watch “Herne’s Son”
I pray Robert’s going to bang an arrow in Richard
O’Brien for his future crimes this series.<br><br>3.4
“The Inheritance” by Anthony Horowitz<br><br>Quite
possibly the daftest Robin episode imo, (…and it was all
going so well till the ending…) but it was fun. It
didn’t have an ounce of the drama that the early Praed
episodes did, but then Carpenter wrote them all. Don’t get
me wrong, I do like most of Hororwitz’s work on
Robin, but he couldn’t hold a torch to Carpenter.<br>It
sadly missed Nickolas Grace’s Sheriff! I’m pretty sure
he wasn’t missing at all in the first two series’
save for “The Swords of Wayland”, which was carried
brilliantly by the dastardly Abbotess. The villains, were
never that threatening to our heroes. <br>I might be
wrong, but I think the reason why different writers
worked on the Connery era Robin was due to ITV wanting
13 episodes that series as opposed to the normal 6
or 7… <br>If I am wrong on this please don’t
hesitate to tell me! ;)<br><br>more to come...!

Thanks, i like that :)<br><br>What else did the annual have in it? <br>I erm
kinda missed it... (hey I was 5 at the time! ;) )<br><br>Anyway thanks
:)<br><br>Nath

Nath<br><br>I've added the Praed piccy to my album.<br><br>Charlotte

That was one of my lasting childhoods memories from about age 6
too...<br><br>Nath

I haven't actually seen the series since it was
on tv all those years ago, but I can still remember
Michaels Praeds last episode. He was surrounded but
holding off the sherrifs men, until he had one arrow
left, which he shot far into the forest. <br>I guess I
was brought up on "tales of myths and legends" as my
grandmother would entertain us with stories of King Arthur
and Robin Hood. They obviously had a lasting
impact!<br><br>Nice to catch up with you all<br><br>Ceinwyn
