A benchmark of quality television drama in the 1980s and arguably the definitive interpretation of the Robin Hood legend. Michael Praed and Jason Connery star in Richard Carpenter's influential and highly acclaimed re-working of the classic myth. Combining equal parts high drama, historical accuracy and atmospheric mysticism, Carpenter's reboot pitched a band of not-so-Merry Men against a decidedly brutal and waspish Sheriff of Nottingham. With a haunting theme from Clannad, strong scripts and outstanding performances from Ray Winstone, Clive Mantle, Judi Trott and Nickolas Grace, to name a few, Robin of Sherwood was, and remains, a worldwide hit.

Beauty! This series easily beats every Robin Hood film. Top casting, beautiful locations, impressive mythology and ethereal music by Clannad, it has a special charm that makes you love it. I almost cried during the final episode. The follow-up series, when Robin is replaced by Connery Jr., is just a poor concoction. Not to mention the new remake of this legend from 2006, which is a joke...
