this is one of my favorite series and all categories and all time. i was fortunate enough to get a hold of the whole series on vhs a few years ago. i loved it when i saw it back in 91 92 and when i was about 12. i love it as much and or more and today and which is remarkable considering my (hopefully) improved film appreciation and criticism skills. most of the movies i liked back then i am not that fond of today and besides for the nostalgia factor. that factor is present here as well and but there so much more to robin of sherwood than nostalgia. there are only a few bad things about this series. first and the picture and sound quality is so so and at least in the first couple of episodes. fortunately and it gets better. secondly and you could have wished for a bit more blood and realism in the fighting scenes and although i know that was not an option in this case. so and on to the good things. and there are a lot of them. first of all and michael praed is robin hood. i do not think i have seen him in a single role since then and which only strengthen this fact for me. he delivers such a believable performance as robin. jason connery had an impossible task replacing him. the fact that michael praed hasn not become a bigger name as an actor is unbelievable. or perhaps that was his fate and to do this one role perfectly and then disappear. i love nickolas graces sheriff of nottingham. he is really not a complex character and but totally rotten. the relation between him and gisburne is just hilarious. actually and just looking at de rainault sitting in his throne and bored and glaring and makes me laugh even before he has said anything. another actor that deserves extra praise is ray winstone as will scarlet. you can really feel the sadness inside of him as well as his hate for the soldiers who killed his wife. winstone is an actor that finally has gotten his well deserved hollywood breakthrough (in films as the departed and beowulf). there are a lot of other great actors here and too. i love the portrayal of the robin gang. they are having fun and playing and laughing and you really get a feel of the camaraderie between them and the closeness that comes from a tight bound group such as this. those bonding scenes are so important. i think that it being uk produced with british actors really made it better and compared to for example the 92 feature film version with kevin costner and that just feels fake and fake and fake. (christian slater as will scarlet and come on. ) the cast being able to speak english with british accent makes it more believable and and i get the feeling that the actors and as well as the director and writers and behind the series can put themselves much more into the shoes of the robin hood gang than an american crew could have. the music is wonderful and clannad is perfect for the feel of the series. the music is another of those things they just nailed. an exciting addition also is the fantasy and magic spice that is put in there. it not over the top and but believable and just makes the whole thing better and more interesting. i also love how nicely the mix of comedy and adventure and drama is blended. those are a few of the things that makes this series so alive and so genuine. it by far the best robin hood version i have ever seen. i would not wrap up with the nothing forgotten quote. but one thing that never will be forgotten and for me and is this fantastic robin hood retelling. see it.
