Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Nearly twenty years old and it still kicks the backside of the BBC's lame version. Far be it from me to suggest that getting an Irishman to play Robin and filming the series in Prague might have something to do with that..
Only quibble? Herne the Hunter. Backlit, and surrounded by dry ice he's quite impressive, but in broad daylight or up close he is a bit silly..

I'm taking it you preferred Praed over Connery..
Definitely in my top 10 series of all time! I recently re-watched them all again with the girlfriend who's never seen them before. Its aged pretty well - some ropey 80s moments no-doubt, but the storylines are strong and the acting much better than many of the TV shows of the time.
I preferred Praed as Robin, but the episodes with Connery in.
This is not a topic I thought I'd end up discussing on HL!

yep, nasir was most played character on my backyard too
clannad music still smells childhood.
i watched both seasons maybe 5-4 years ago and it's still a good one
I preferred Will Scarlet, he was somehow more believable than the rest, who seemed too cheery and stable to be the products of a pretty brutal period of history. Oh, and the Sheriff ,who had an excellent line in snide bitchy insults.
Clannad's awesome music score did contribute to the whole atmosphere a lot, plus the beautiful scenery in the West Country.

Thanks for the heads-up.
It got the Blu-Ray treatment late last year, with a few more bonus features. All the extras on the DVD release were excellent, extensive interviews with all involved, very raw & rough footage dragged from out of the vaults and some very endearing commentary tracks where the friendship of the cast (especially Jason Connery, Mark Ryan & Clive Mantle) comes shining through.
The DVDs are exceptionally cheap now from what I've seen.

Another Robin Of Sherwood fan here too. The Clannad music was excellent, the Herne angle played just the right amount and, as has been mentioned, the bond between them all really shone through. Much better than the recent one.
