Hello,
I'm new to this board and finally managed the registration (I don't speak any Russian at all). My name is Andromeda and I'm also from the German Richard Armitage Board.
We don't know anything really new yet about the series, because the BBC is very secretive about it. Richard wrote a short message to his fans where he told us that there will be a promotion campaign for it and lots of merchandise.
An English fan went to the Robin Hood Festival in Nottingham and she saw a trailer there (which will hopefully be aired in television soon). This is what she wrote (naturally she concentrated on the interesting bits for us!):
The whole trailer is about 1 minute 20 seconds and Guy of Gisborne is only featured twice for just a few seconds. First a smouldering look with a shot that is head and shoulders view where he tilts his head to one side. Next there was a closer shot of his face delivering the line 'He is an outlaw'. Both far too brief but very enjoyable. The series looks
like an interesting take on the legend going for a modern edgy feel whilst maintaining realistic costume and set. It's hard to tell much from such a fastly cut trailer so I look forward to seeing more of the show in real time rather than something that is packing as many speedily cut clips as possible into little more than a minute.
And we heard that they will still continue to film in Budapest when the series has already started broadcasting in GB. And the BBC has already raised funds for a second season of Robin Who (as we call it).
If you haven't seen it yet, here is a press release from the BBC with a few (very small) pictures on page 6:

And this is the only official picture of Guy of Gisbourne (not much, I'm afraid):

I'm afraid that's all my news.
I always like "Robin of Sherwood" very much, especially Michael Praed (like ghost I have more a crush for tall and dark man). I have seen him in London on stage before he became Robin Hood. If you're interested, I've scanned the pictures from the theatre programme. It was the Musical "The Pirates of Penzance" in July 1982. Michael Praed played Frederick and Tim Curry was the Pirate King. The pictures are here, almost in the middle of the page:

@ Cathy:
I have to agree with you - you can't judge about Richard just from looking at his pictures. Most of the ladies from our board would agree. Almost none of us did fell for him just from seeing pictures. And you're totally right: being handsome is not enough! But Richard is such an amazing actor that I know he will make a very convincing Guy (no matter what kind of person this Guy is going to be). If you want to see Richard in "action" (and one really must, the pictures just don't do it), especially in something very different to North & South, you can find lots of videoclips from several of his movies here: http://www.thearmitagearmy.co.uk/48.html
The amazing thing is that he becomes a completely different person every time, just through his acting!
I for one didn't think much of him just from seeing the pictures...
Saw pictures: Didn't care much... didn't even find him handsome in some of them...
Saw him move: Caught my breath...
Saw his play of features: Was charmed...
Heard his voice: Got hypnotized...
Saw the whole movie: Fell in love...
Saw him act in several completely different movies: Went completely nuts (and stayed on this level ever since...)
