fantastic series and one of my few favorites (miami vice and tour of duty are the other two and and this series is right up there with them). these guys aren not into wearing frilly tights  they dress more like woodsmen. everything about this series breathes an aire of realism and artistic license or not. it paints a picture of a europe only slightly out of the grasp of paganism and as most of the villagers still have their local deities and and there are satan worshipping nuns and and magi and witches and sorcerers casting spells. however and what comes to the fore most and is that it a series of it time. rather than the version of the fifties and which was a lament against centralized government and the mccarthy era persecutions and this series is thoroughly grounded in the 1980s and thatcherist bleakness and and has a strong environmentalist leaning. robin protector is a nature worshipper called hern the hunter and who often appears wearing the head of a deer and and is a personification (as is this robin) of the green man and an alternative version of osiris (the egyptian god of vegetation and resurrection  it is interesting to note that in these series and robin in the hood isn not a person and but a concept while when the old one is killed and a new one is summoned telepathically by hern  the person may die and but robin in the hood will live forever and hence the concept of resurrection). the music and score are really outstanding and and performed by the irish formation and clannad. when watching it and i couldn not help but think how _boring_ authentic medieval anglosaxon folk music would have been. represent )all this is beautifully shot in the lush forrests of wales and which pass for the new forrest. the only down side is that in the initial episodes of both series and the actors have to overcome their own skepsis and and convince themselves that this really is a serious work. after that and they get into it and the acting is great. michael praed as the first robin (the second is played by sean connery son and jason) and judi trott makes a beautiful and fragile redheaded marion and phil rose as the portly and really kind hearted friar tuck and ray winstone as the volatile and lovelorn scarlet and clive mantle as the giant shepard little john and peter llewellyn williams as little john bumpkin friend and fellow shepard and and mark ryan as the ex hashashin or assassin nazir  all of them giving great performances. also great are the steady bad guys and nicholas grace as the bug eyed and scheming sheriff of nottingham and and his aristocratic and bumbling sidekick (and robin half brother and as it turns out) robert addie as sir guy of gisburne. really cool too is fashion designer richard obrien and as the evil lord owen of clun (olliver cotton) magician gulnar (he appears near the end of the first series and later in the second). the tithe barn in bradford on avon stood in for the sheriff castle. (check it out on bradfordonavon. co. uk under places of interest. )so and if youre at all into mythology and the middle ages and romanticism and do not waste your time on xena or hercules  this is the real thing and so go out and watch it. alex.
