The Adventures of Robin Hood
The Highlander: Season 1, Episode 13. The episode title character is that of Wild Duncan and he was sure a challenging adversary for Robin. While not really a villain as such, Wild Duncan was very menacing and not bad how Robin ultimately deals with him.

The Betrothal: Season 1, Episode 15. Robin helps Sir Richard of the Lea to get his son marry off to Lady Gladys. Didn't really enjoy this episode as I felt the episode was flat.

The Alchemist:
Season 1, Episode 16.
Enjoyable episode in which accusation of witchcraft against a village woman whose son is an outlaw.
Good use of the witchcraft accusation plot device and a very good reminder how alchemy in those days could be interpreted as witchcraft.

A Husband For Marian: Season 1, Episode 17. Robin helps Marian to get out of an arranged marriage only for him to become the groom instead. Funny how Robin was prevented from going through this marriage himself.

The Adventures of Robin Hood
The Brothers: Season 1, Episode 19. The brothers here refer to identical twin brothers, one of them is a monk while the other was arrested by the Sheriff on trumped up charges. Enjoyable how the monk brother got his brother out of the cell. Quite strategic of the abbot in not wanting to know Robin's name.

The Adventures of Robin Hood
The Intruders:
Season 1, Episode 20. Robin discovers that two boys have been committing robberies in his name even though they are not part of his band. So Robin infiltrates this little group in order to teach them a lesson and those boys were sure terrified by the lesson they learnt here. This was all done in good humour to the fright of these boys.

The Adventures of Robin Hood
Errand of Mercy: Season 1, Episode 21. Robin makes for an unlikely assistant pharmacist when he helps a pharmacist Anselm in transporting medical supplies. Good thrill in Robin transporting these supplies including being injured whilst him being the usual quarry of the Sheriff. Apt description of Robin as contraband!

The Adventures of Robin Hood
The Sheriff’s Boots: Season 1, Episode 22. Guest stars Joan Sims. Funny that the sheriff starts a war with a village over boots. Also funny when the villagers, thanks to Robin, prepare themselves when the sheriff’s men return to the village for another attack and they sure got a whacking here.

The Adventures of Robin Hood
Will Scarlet: Season 1, Episode 23. This episode introduces Will Scarlet into the series and he is played by Ronald Howard. Here Howard got reunited with Archie Duncan (Little John) as some years before they were in the 1954-55 Sherlock Holmes series in which Howard was Sherlock Holmes and Duncan was Inspector Lestrade. A very good introductory episode for Will thanks to a very fun and energetic portrayal by Howard.

Ladies of Sherwood Season 1, Episode 24. Fun that Robin and his men pretend to be ladies in order to rescue someone from hanging only to be caught and imprison themselves. Quite fun on how Robin got themselves out of their cell and then putting the Sheriff in it!

The Deserted Castle:
Season 1, Episode 25.

The May Queen: Season 1, Episode 28. A knight fights in a tournament to get married to the maiden he loves but the rival suitor has a champion to fight for him. Here Robin steps in as the knight's champion against the knight's will. If only to fight for a girl's hand was that easy in real life in this not bad episode.
