SISTERS have just been played on BBC1

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Probably they couldn't afford anything else after having to pay for getting it back :lol:

Not forgetting King John seeking dominion over the Saxon peasantry and the damage done by the raising of taxes to pay for Richard the Lionheart kicking up a sandstorm against Saladdin's Jihad in the Holy Land.

I did see it and thought what a strange combination it was. Is there a Heartlander hiding in a television centre play out suite somewhere? :?

The Eighties Robin of Sherwood series was pleasingly7 dark and mystical. It escaped me at the time, but my goffy brother in law (Paul Nemeth out of Tammuz, obscure band fans) lent me his old tapes and, yes indeed, you could have called it 'paganism for pre-teens'. There were loads of demonic baddies, and a tendency to dwell on Satanism in lurid detail. Put simply, it was good fun, though the Clannad soundtrack meant that the more folksy elements of goffdom tended to latch onto it. It had the big bloke Clive whatisface out of Casualty as Little John, and the godlike Ray Winstone as a very angry Will Scarlett.

Re use of Alice - cool people everywhere dig the Sisters. The music ain't going away.

If I was a cynical old goth I'd say that whoever programmed the music for the Robin Hood trailer may well be trying to say that our beloved :von: was a modern day Robin Hood,but instead of Robbing the rich to feed the poor he was robbing the fans to feed his enormous appetite for amphetemines.

But I won't and never would
