Robin of Sherwood, retitled Robin Hood in the US, was an acclaimed 1980s British television series, based on the legend of Robin Hood. It was made by HTV in association with Goldcrest, and ran from 1984 to 1986 on the ITV network. The show starred first Michael Praed then Jason Connery as two different incarnations of the title character, and was created by Richard Carpenter. Unlike previous adaptations of the Robin Hood legend, Robin of Sherwood combined a gritty, authentic production design with elements of real-life history and pagan myth.

Overview

There were three series, comprising a two-hour opening episode and 24 hour-long episodes, although the pilot is sometimes screened as two one-hour episodes. It was shot on film, and almost entirely on location, mostly in the north and west of England. The show's soundtrack was composed and performed by Irish folk group Clannad, winning a BAFTA award in 1985; their 1984 album Legend was comprised of music from the first and second series.

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.

Michael Praed played Robin Hood (or Robin of Loxley) in the first two seasons. His "Merry Men" consisted of Will Scarlet (played by Ray Winstone), who used to be known as Will Scathlock, before changing his name when his wife, Elena, was raped and trampled to death with horses by some Norman Soldiers, Little John (played by Clive Mantle), Friar Tuck (played by Phil Rose) his adopted brother Much (played by Peter Llewellyn Williams), the Saracen Nasir (played by Mark Ryan) and Lady Marian (played by Judi Trott). As in the legend, Robin is opposed by the Sheriff of Nottingham (Nickolas Grace) and Sir Guy of Gisburne (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.

Robert of Huntingdon (Jason Connery) and his "Merry Men", in the final episode "The Time of The Wolf" (closing shot)At the end of the second season, Robin of Loxley is killed and Robert of Huntingdon (played by Jason Connery, whose father Sean Connery had played Robin in Robin and Marian) replaces him as Robin Hood. During the course of the season, the new Robin discovers that he is the half-brother of his nemesis Guy of Gisburne (an idea suggested to Carpenter by the fact that both actors had blond hair).

The series came to an end when Goldcrest was forced to pull out of the venture due to a downturn in the fortunes of their film arm. Goldcrest had been responsible for critical and commercial hits such as Chariots of Fire (1981) and Gandhi (1982) earlier in the eighties, but had hit a lean spell with such films as Revolution (1985) and Absolute Beginners (1986). As the series was expensive to make, HTV could not afford to produce it alone and no more episodes were made.

In April 2005, nearly twenty years after the series' cancellation, Richard Carpenter announced, via the show's official fan club, that he was writing a two-hour 'Robin of Sherwood' TV Movie for ITV [1] and that he intended to reunite as many of the surviving cast for the production as was possible.

It's very strange that 'Children of Israel' and 'Enchantment' are before 'Swords'.   :yahoo:
If I don't mistake such order is in Cathe's disks.

"Robin of Sherwood"??? deleted scenes??!!  :blush2:  oh my God!  :help: thank you very much for this information. i see we have plenty of new things to wait for!
recently i bought the first 2 seasons of RoS but there were no deleted scenes on it. Do you think they will be on a new DVD? is there anyone who's going to buy it and is it possible for us to know what's exactly there on this RoS as additional materials? would you be so kind to tell us Andromeda?  :give_rose:

Well, I hope I didn't get that wrong, but on Amazon.de it said the DVD had as special features:
* The Making of 'Robin Hood' (60 min)
* 3 audiocommentaries from Richard Carpenter and Ian Sharp
* Outtakes (9 Min)
* 'Electric Theatre Show' - Featurette from 1983 (26 Min.), 'Electric Theatre Show' documentary - unpublished scenes (68 Min.)
* Promotion recordings from Clannad (12 Min.)

I thought the "unpublished scenes" meant scenes from the movie? When you have the English DVD there should be the same special features. For Germany the just add the German language, they usually don't make a new DVD.

Andromeda thank you for your information. I rely on Nasir who's got the original DVDs - he knows for sure. In any way i'm glad for German fans who's going to get this DVD. a great purchase before new BBC series i guess :)

The German variant of a serial is reduced. :(

Series are shorter original for five - seven minutes.
Probably, these deleted scenes mean?

it could be
i hate it when they cut original series on national TV channels

0

25

That's true and I hate that, too!  :threaten: But that wouldn't make for the 9 min Outtakes. I think they cut about 5 min from each part of the series to make it fit in a 45 min slot. In the review someone refered to the outtakes as "bloopers" so I think these are real outtakes.

From what I heard they have the series itself in the original length and have the formerly cut parts subtitled (because they have no German audio for it).

Оnce I  looked one series in German. With German audio. Certainly, I have understood nothing. But a series was shorter original. You think, in German version DVD there will be original series with subtitles, or the sounded and missing fragments separately?

0

27

Well, I can only speak from other DVDs I saw. In some older movies the had the movies at full length and subtitled the additional parts (mainly because the actors who originally dubbed it were already dead).
The Star Trek-Series (another series they did cut to make it fit for an 45 min slot) they had it in full length on the DVD and dubbed the additional parts new. On the DVD for North & South (the Patrick Swayze thing  :D ) you have the option to choose between the original version (with subtitles on the additional parts) oder the cut German version.

So I strongly believe that the series itself will be in its original length, and not the fragments separately. I'Ve never seen that done before. I suppose when you listen to the German audio they will the addtional fragments either have subtitled or newly dubbed. But either way we still have the chance to listen to the English version!  :D (My husband's English is not very good so he woudn't buy it without German audio).

Andromeda and did you like RoS series, i mean your general impression? have you got favourite characters? and when did you see these series?

I liked Robin of Sherwood very much. I saw it when it was broadcasted in Germany 20 years ago. That's why I'm so delighted there will be a German DVD now.

I always liked Michael Praed's Robin best. I remember being heartbroken when he died... I never could really get used to Jason Connery (and him on top of all being blonde!).

I'm not a huge Robin Hood fan in general, like you are. But when I would be asked which movie I thought had the most "Robin Hood feeling", I would choose Robin of Sherwood. It was, as a whole, totally believable and held a wonderful balance between the fantasy genre and the medieval. And, of course, it was thrilling and interesting, but that's the least I expect from a series like that. It was, all in all, a perfect mixture of all it should be. I think that's the reason why it made such a deep impression on me and let me hope for a re-run these last 20 years...

Hi, Andromeda!

I know, you will feel pleasure from repeated viewing a serial. If you liked it 20 years ago, will grow fond again.
Michael in my opinion - the best  Robin in the cinema.  :heart:  Other Robins only pale shadows.  :)

We are great fans of a theme of  Robin and spirit of Sherwood.   :fans:   :elf:  We are interested  everything, that concerns a theme.
I love all the images of legends. Each of them has the destiny and the unique story.
The greatest interest caused by  Robin and sir Guy. They represent two systems, interest should cause two way of life and their opposition.
In the RoS this idea is not developed completely. We dream and we develop it. :aikido:

I looked the RoS in 1985, the duplicated variant, on russian. The original version became a surprise. I could hear the true voices of heroes.
I want to trust, that magic will not leave us never.    :heart:
