Robin of Sherwood
Rutterkin: Penultimate story. Guest stars Ian Ogilvy as Lord Edgar, Robin’s villainous uncle. What is curious about this casting is that several years earlier Ogilvy had played Simon Templar in the Return of the Saint TV series and The Saint has been described as being like Robin Hood. So several years after playing Simon Templar, he in a way played The Saint’s uncle here. Ogilvy plays the villainous uncle very well here and also kudos to Annabel Lee as Mad Mab

Robin of Sherwood
The Time of the Wolf Part 1: Part 1 of the series finale. Pretty good opening part of the series finale which sees the return of Richard O’Brien as Gulnar. It looks like Gisburne has bolted from the Sheriff from the final time after the latter laid the blame on him for something that he knows full well that he didn’t do. Guess it was not so surprising where Gisburne decided to go next. Quite a good cliffhanger.

Robin of Sherwood
The Time of the Wolf Part 2: Series finale. While I saw this episode several weeks ago, the following remarks is deliberately timed to fellow Robin Hood narrative Doctor Who: Robot of Sherwood. Pretty good and somewhat sad ending to Robin of Sherwood. That doppelganger of Robin was quite creepy and his death, in which Marian thought he was the real Robin, led to her making a certain decision that ultimately presents a tragedy between her and the real Robin. A sombre note to end the series.

Saw Doctor Who’s take on Robin Hood, Robot of Sherwood and it is a top quality script from its writer Mark Gatiss in a terrific blend of Doctor Who and Robin Hood and it is truly worth two for the price of one.

Just finished the movie The Postman (1996) starring Kevin Costner as the titular postman. Five years before The Postman he played another titular character as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves in 1991. Coincidentally finished seeing Costner as The Postman the day after seeing Tom Riley as Robin Hood in Doctor Who 38.3 Robot of Sherwood.

The Danger Mouse season 6 opener Once Upon A Time Slip had Danger Mouse and Penfold going back in time to 1215 and presented a twisted version of Robin Hood with Danger Mouse as Robin Hood, Penfold as Little John (quite literally little in Penfold’s case in contrast to the usual depiction of Little John) and Greenback as the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents 6.3 Very Moral Theft ends with Hitch reading a book in which he says the Sheriff of Nottingham finally caught Robin Hood and the charge was tax evasion. Robin Hood himself does not appear in the core of the episode but Hitch mentioning him is appropriate considering what Robin Hood stands for as it reflects with what it says in the episode title.

Robin Hood appeared in The Avengers 3.14 Dressed To Kill and in this instance it is that of a character William J Cavendish in costume as him and was played by Leonard Rossiter.
