Series 1
Follow the Merry Men-but don't bother packing your green tights! The classic 1980s British series put a modern twist on the legend of Robin Hood, with a brilliant turn by Michael Praed (Dynasty) as the renowned "wealth sharer." Travel to Sherwood for the first adaptation to combine gritty, authentic production design with elements of real-life history, magic and pagan myth. The moody mysticism is further enhanced by the award-winning soundtrack performed by the Irish band Clannad. Includes the first 13 episodes, shot on location in England and seen by US viewers on Showtime. Co-stars Ray Winstone (Sweeney Todd, The Departed) in a career-launching role.
Series 2
The fabled "wealth sharer" returns! In the second season of this classic action-adventure series-hailed as the quintessential interpretation of the Robin Hood legend- young nobleman Robert of Huntingdon (Jason Connery, Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth) assumes the mantle of the fallen Robin of Loxley. Guided by the forest spirit Herne the Hunter (John Abineri, The Last of the Mohicans), he reassembles Robin's band and resumes the campaign against the greedy Sheriff of Nottingham (Nickolas Grace, Brideshead Revisited). Of course, the lovely Lady Marion (Judi Trott, Robin Hood and the Sorcerer) and the intrepid Friar Tuck (Phil Rose, Robin Hood and the Sorcerer) are never far. This set includes all 13 episodes, with commentaries for eight and an award-winning score by the traditional Irish band Clannad. Feats of derring-do, cunning plot twists and rich historical and mythical detail will delight both children and adults.
