Robin Hood (1922): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hood_(1922_film)Saw it on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKpG4Vmck_EAs it was made in 1922 this is a silent film and starred Douglas Fairbanks as Robin Hood. Other members of the cast include Alan Hale as Little John and it was the first of three films that he had played Little John. He later reprised Little John in The Adventures of Robin Hood & Rogues of Sherwood Forest although the three films are not connected with each other. Quite a good film which included quite good music.

The Greatest Enemy: Season 2 finale. The Greatest Enemy ends the second season on a very sad note with Robin being killed off. However being the dead isn’t exactly the end of Robin as this episode had shown and what a comeback that the deceased Robin made towards the end of the episode. I don’t think that The Greatest Enemy was ever intended to be the final episode of Robin of Sherwood especially with the Sheriff saying that it would never be over and it wasn’t over as the series had one more season to go.

Tom and Jerry: Robin Hoodwinked: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_HoodwinkedSaw it on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2-AUJfdlI0The premise here is that of Robin Hood being captured and held prisoner at Nottingham castle. Jerry and friend Tuffy (another mouse) goes on a mission to rescue Robin with Tom as the guard. Good fun little adventure of Tom and Jerry in the Robin Hood legend although in this case we do not see Robin at all.

In the past few hours saw two Robin Hood actors in non-Robin Hood roles.
First I finished seeing They Died With Their Boots On starring Errol Flynn (The Adventures of Robin Hood) and his Marian, Olivia de Havilland then I finished seeing The Lost World 1.11 Creatures of the Dark which guest starred Remi Broadway (K9: The Last Oak Tree).

The Inheritance: Season 3, Episode 4. Guest stars Cathryn Harrison and Cyril Cusack. What makes this episode such a curio is that it crosses over the legend of Robin Hood with that of the legend of King Arthur which is not I think something I have seen done elsewhere. At the beginning of the episode most of the band were relaxing in the sun and that was basically a good visual way to show the calm before the storm as the action later on was definitely worth it.

Robin Hood got represented in Once Upon a Time when the character first appeared there in 2.19 Lacey with him being played by Tom Ellis. Robin Hood then next appeared in the season 3 opener The Heart of the Truest Believer but the character is now played by Sean Maguire as Ellis was unavailable to reprise the character.

The Sheriff of Nottingham: Season 3, Episode 5. The Sheriff has been displaced and briefly becomes an ally of Robin and his band. Quite fun seeing the Sheriff losing his authority for this one episode and an interesting bit of Nasir’s history that got played out here.
In the DVD commentary of this episode, Mark Ryan (Nasir) made a funny remark of how he looked like a Dalek in one scene he was in.

The Cross of St Ciricus: Season 3, Episode 6. The band rescues Gisburne’s mother from her attackers and she reveals an interesting information about her son which I unfortunately I already knew about beforehand due to a DVD commentary on an earlier episode. Well acted episode especially on the way Robin’s reacts to the said information about Gisburne.

Once Upon a Time’s Robin Hood as played by Sean Maguire made an appearance in spin-off Once Upon A Time In Wonderland in 1.3 Forget Me Not which revealed a very interesting information about Will Scarlet!

Cromm Cruac: Season 3, Episode 7. Quite creepy episode which sees the return of an old enemy. Quite good presentation of how some of the band are experiencing an illusion.

Saw The Time Tunnel 1.16 The Revenge of Robin Hood which as it says in the title had a depiction of Robin Hood and is played here by Donald Harron. This episode of The Time Tunnel had Time Tunnelers Doug and Tony being incorporated with the Merry Men.

The Betrayal: Season 3, Episode 8. Written by Andrew McCulloch and John Flanagan. This episode has Phil Davis returning as John but who is King in this episode as he wasn’t the king in his previous appearances in the series. Coincidentally I am currently seeing Davis in a rewatch of Doctor Who 34.2 The Fires of Pompeii. Very surprised to see Matt Frewer here which involved him becoming a fake Robin Hood. McCulloch and Flanagan are a very enjoyable tale with this episode and it was quite fun when King John was chasing Marion.

Robin of Sherwood
Adam Bell: Season 3, Episode 9. A good performance by Bryan Marshall as the episode title character who is the leader of another group of outlaws. Bell and Robin sure came into conflict on what to do about the Sheriff’s nephew whom Bell had kidnapped. Quite amusing that in an early scene when the Sheriff showed just how much affection he has for his nephew.

Robin of Sherwood
The Pretender: Antepenultimate story. The casting for this episode is quite curious for Doctor Who fans as it guest starred First Doctor companion actor William Russell (Ian) as The Duke of Gloucester and Cory Pulman (later to play Ace’s grandmother Kathleen Dudman in The Curse of Fenric) as Queen Isabella. Reece Dinsdale is quite good as the episode title character and it wasn’t what he appear to be. Quite surprising what Queen Isabella did in one of her last scenes thanks very much to the performance of Cory Pulman.
Since watching this episode saw The Lego Movie which briefly had a depiction of Robin Hood.
