Doctor Who and Robin Hood
I don't think this consitutes spoilers...
I loved it to pieces and was laughing far too much of the time.
Errol Flynn's incarnation of Robin Hood (with a slight touch of Dread Pirate Roberts), and a Sheriff of Nottingham that surely owed something to Alan Rickman.
Lots of great banter -and I loved the Doctor's horrified reaction to it.
And the dialogue and competition between the doctor and Robin! Yay!
And the arrow... Oh Lord, that archery competition. I have no idea how it was supposed to have happened, but it was very, very funny.
As someone who is actually interested in the history of Robin Hood, I can tell you it wasn't historically accurate, but I DON'T CARE. It was FUN!
