Richard Carpenter's groundbreaking series, considered by most to be the ultimate Robin Hood depiction, brings to the legend a magical and mystical quality that is both timeless and representative of the era in which it was made. With a superb young cast lead by Michael Praed (series 1 and 2) and Jason Connery (series 3), Robin and his merry men battle against the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham, and his poor fated right-hand-man, Sir Guy of Gisburne, as well as a host of vivid baddies. Spanning several genres, this action based adventure series is anything but a one-dimensional hack and slash series, rather is masterfully layered, rich in character and circumstance that will intrigue and excite the very youngest and oldest of viewers. / Special note must be made of BAFTA award winning music, which is, like the series, both unmistakably '80s, yet still perfectly captures the medieval period it represents. More than any other series, the music is as much a part of the identity as the cast and crew. / Currently 10/10
