That's the series that's been stolen?
Probably they couldn't afford anything else after having to pay for getting it back

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'll not even bother taking my coat off...probably best if I walk away from this right now...oh dear...

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
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
