I knew before seeing this episode that it would feature Robin Hood (played by Remi Broadway) but was surprised that he only appeared briefly and as a hologram. In fact Robin Hood’s involvement in the episode’s plot is virtually non-existent as his presence was to illustrate the history of the titular oak tree with him. After knowing all this time that Robin Hood was going to be here not quite sure whether to be disappointed by his brief appearance. However it was still enjoyable. The title of the episode was originally The Last Oak Tree in England but the last two words was eventually dropped. The full title however can still be seen in the episode as the name of the oak tree’s display. The way the alien bounds its prisoners is akin to the ones in Alien film series. Taken aback upon seeing the alien as that of a giant slug-like being. Not bad the explanation why the slug alien needed the oak tree. Funny the postman’s name is Pat as in Postman Pat. Postman Pat mistakenly thought the slug came from Mars. Since this takes place in the future one would have thought that it would have been common knowledge among humans that Mars is inhabited by Ice Warriors and the aliens from Ambassadors of Death. Very heartwarming when Starkey saved the slug eggs. It is somehow fitting that the hatching of the slug eggs would reveal the infants to be butterfly-like creatures.
