The Only Ever Robin

...and my first ever TV review, of the all-sorts-of-wonderful Robin of Sherwood, still amazing after three decades.

I loved that series. I was heartbroken when Michael Praed left. I was so disappointed when I Got a recent trial subscription to Sky that I was just too late to catch it again.

Most, though not all, of the episodes are on youtube. Not great quality, of course. I've ordered the DVD. Next time I visit you...

I must rewatch them. I am almost sure that we have the early series on DVD.

I'm sure you'd enjoy it. I'm discovering all sorts of interesting things. Also, there is a very clever and very funny commentary here: https://candledance.wordpress.com/category/robin-of-sherwood/

I feel I really should say something about Jason Connery. He did what he could. It was a solid performance and he had his moments. But Praed had set such an unattainable standard that every successor would have failed.

So true. I loved that show, and I love your post.

Yeah, there's just nothing like it. And now I've got my children hooked on it, too. :)
