| Robin of Sherwood | comment |
A 1980s television retelling of the Robin Hood legend, with a large dose of Celtic mysticism. In this version, Robin is The Chosen One, the spiritual son of pagan forest-god Herne the Hunter. Notable for being the first version to get away from the green-tights-and-hat-with-a-feather image in favour of something a band of 12th century outlaws might actually wear, for introducing the idea of a Saracen outlaw which was copied by later adaptations, and for portraying King Richard as just as bad as Prince John.Besides these, perhaps it is most notable for having two different Robins — one a woodsman, the other a nobleman — allowing it to cover the two different versions of Robin found in the various (contradictory) tales. The original, played by Michael Praed, appeared in the first two series; Jason Connery played his replacement in the third and final series. The Maid Marion for both was Judi Trott, playing Marion of Leaford, a former ward of the Sheriff's brother, who in this version is an active member of the Merry Men.The series spawned the usual 1980s set of Spin-Offs, including a three volume novelisation by the original TV creator Richard Carpenter, which covered the whole series except for the third-season episodes that he didn't write, and a Robin Of Sherwood Text Adventure video game by Adventuresoft for various eight-bit home computers. There were also two Gamebooks - The King's Demon and The Sword of the Templar.There were plans for a fourth series, but the production company ran out of money; there were several attempts up until 2010 to revive it, including plans for a movie and several attempts to pitch a new series to ITV, none of which came to anything. Robert Addie, who played Guy of Gisburne, died in 2003 and Richard Carpenter died in 2012. Still all of the surviving castnote Notably both Michael Praed and Jason Connery took part - Connery played Robert of Huntingdon and Praed peformed the "Spectral Voice" role marking the only time they'd worked on the same project within the franchise. were finally able to reunite in 2015 for "The Knights of the Apocalypse", an audio drama based on an unfilmed script of Carpenter's. It was released in 2016.The series are also known for putting Irish music group Clannad on the map (apart from their theme from Harry's Game). | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Not in absolute terms compared to later works, but the series was significantly darker than the average teatime family adventure show and many earlier Robin Hood retellings. It has quite ruthless heroes who clearly kill a lot of people (albeit with Bloodless Carnage), truly depraved and murderous villains, very explicit and intense ethnic and class conflict, Richard I being as bad as most of the other nobles and royals, and strong elements of neo-paganism among the good guys and black magic among the bad ones. This is established right at the start, when the traditional first meeting between Robin and Little John is played in a darker way with John being under black magic mind control and seriously trying to kill Robin. | |

Apple of Discord | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_16c3b640 | comment |
Apple of Discord: At least one apple appears in every episode of the show, and they're used several times to underscore discord. Gisburne stabs one while glaring poisonously at Ralph of Huntingdon in "The Enchantment". The Sheriff tears into one as an unsubtle threat in "The Greatest Enemy". Gisburne punctuates an angry remark in "The Power of Albion" by biting into an apple. Several episodes show a basket of apples being toppled during a fight. | |

Too Happy to Live: A non-fatal variation, though it's played straight in almost every other respect: Robert and Marion confess their love and prepare to marry, the outlaws and the villagers steal back the grain that was taken from them by the Sheriff, everyone is getting ready for the celebrations that night... and then, on returning to Wickham, they discover that all the women and children have been taken, the rescued grain has been burnt, and the wedding has to be postponed and eventually cancelled, after Marion is led to believe that Robert has died. | |

Framing the Guilty Party | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_216dab44 | comment |
Framing the Guilty Party: Of a sort. Robert of Huntington's evil uncle Edgar frames his brother for contracting a witch to cast a spell on the king, picking Mad Mab, a crazy lady who tends pigs out in the woods as someone people would easily believe to be a witch. At the end of the episode, his scheme having been revealed, Lord Edgar flees on horseback and it cuts back to Mab, who casts a spell to kill Edgar, then calmly casts another one to open the locked cell door. | |

French Jerk: A mercenary band of them is hired by Guy in "Lord of the Trees"; they smash up a tavern just because they can. Although their leader is from Nivelles, which is in Belgium nowadays.

Dated History | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_3e8c87a3 | comment |
Dated History: The show is heavily influenced by two discredited theories of British history which, however, remained influential on historical fiction in the 1980s. The first is the "Norman Yoke" theory, developed in the seventeenth century by proto-leftists and English nationalists, which held that the Norman Conquest replaced a harmonious and just Anglo-Saxon society with Norman hierarchy and tyranny, and that for many centuries English society was dominated by continuing conscious ethnic conflict between a "Norman" aristocracy and an oppressed "English" people. While feudal Middle Ages society obviously experienced class conflict, there is little evidence of any consciousness of ethnic difference continuing for very long. The second is the "Witch cult" hypothesis, which argues that pre-Christian paganism survived on a large-scale as an underground non-Christian faith for many centuries after the official Christian conversion of Western Europe, only finally being destroyed by the early-modern witch-hunts, which saw the Church exterminating a genuine traditional religion. This was never accepted by specialist medieval historians, but was believed for a time by many other educated people, although even most neo-pagans now recognise it as false. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Ironically, also a Historical Hero Upgrade, as Prince John is still played as nasty, but arguably has more dignity and intelligence than he had in real life. In double irony, Richard was a pompous warrior, who couldn't speak a word of English, despised England itself (but appreciated the income from its taxes), and was the reason for John having to tax the place dry, in order to pay for his wars and his ransom when he got captured on return from Crusade. John was an awful warrior, but an excellent administrator, and it was probably largely due to his skill with money that England didn't go bankrupt thanks to his brother. Alas for history, romantic thugs were, and are, far more popular than competent administrators. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: The serfs on more than one occasion. Little John calls Robin this (half jokingly), when the outlaws turn up at Baron de Belleme's castle in order to save him and are told, "I thought I told you to stay in Sherwood!" | |

While Richard Carpenter deserves credit for giving Marion back her street-cred (she was quite the badass in the old ballads, before Hollywood got hold of her and turned her into a Damsel in Distress) by making her a useful and skilled member of the outlaws, she also goes through an awful lot of bondage and brainwashing in his scripts. | |

The only unhappy person is Mildred's father, who doesn't even appear on screen. | |

Silver Has Mystic Powers: In this version, the silver arrow won at the tournament is a relic sacred to Herne. Richard Carpenter was actually the first writer to change it from gold to silver in order to better embody occult values. Robin uses it to stab Baron de Belleme to death, with the implication being that it was a specially effective weapon against a black magician. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The depiction of Herne the Hunter as an medieval figure of pagan worship with worship stretching back to the Dark Ages misses the inconvenient point that Herne is a relatively modern invention. The figure wasn't first mentioned in writing until 1597 (by Shakespeare, of course, in The Merry Wives of Windsor) and even then he was described not as a pagan god or spirit but as the ghost of a human poacher. He was also associated with a particular locality - Windsor - that is no where near Nottinghamshire. His codification as the archetypal antlered pagan deity is largely a Victorian invention. Some historians have made the (rather wistful and farfetched) case for this romantic figure having real Celtic origins, though, so we can forgive the makers of Robin on the grounds they were writing according to a real, if marginal, theory. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: While Richard Carpenter deserves credit for giving Marion back her street-cred (she was quite the badass in the old ballads, before Hollywood got hold of her and turned her into a Damsel in Distress) by making her a useful and skilled member of the outlaws, she also goes through an awful lot of bondage and brainwashing in his scripts. Most evil villains usually had a sultry concubine in tow. | |

If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten! | |

If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: in the two-part final episode "The Time of the Wolf", Gisburne is being hunted down by De Rainault, who tried to blame him for a failure of his own and get him executed for it. He ends up being captured by the murderous wolf cultists and his options are joining them or dying. He choses to join them, despite his intial disgust. Later they capture the Sheriff as well, and eventually tell Gisburne to kill him. He fails the test not because he's unwilling to kill the Sheriff but because he insists on doing it cleanly with a sword rather than butchering him with a dagger. In the end they both escape and are reconciled. | |

A Threesome Is Hot | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_7a667c8d | comment |
A Threesome Is Hot: Baron de Belleme has two girlfriends, who do little more than look hot in his first episode, but do a bit more in "The Enchantment". In his first appearance, Prince John is seen to retire to his bedroom with two women. In "The Time of the Wolf", Gulnar is accompanied by two witchy barbarian babes who are identified in the credits as "Maidens", although their appearance and manners don't suggest that. On the good side, Nasir is seen to be rather suggestively welcomed by two women when the outlaws arrive at the Blessing festivities. Maybe he can do it and still stay moral because of Islamic polygamy... | |

Left Hanging | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_80b5924 | comment |
Left Hanging: In "The Enchantment", one of Baron de Belleme's concubines is successful in resurrecting his dead body. The Baron is last seen in his castle, planning his next scheme, and that's the last we ever see or hear of him. In the finale of the entire series, Marion opts to reject Robert's marriage proposal and become a nun. Richard Carpenter was relying on a fourth series in order to resolve these issues, but he never got the chance. In a case of Tropes Are Not Bad, our final shot of the Sheriff and Gisburne is them merrily taking Robert's dead body to Newark in a cart, unaware that the corpse is actually just a golem that is already crumbling away. King John's inevitable reaction to this is tantalizingly left up to the imagination. | |

Moral Guardians: Richard Carpenter got into trouble with this lot in his use of Herne, who was misinterpreted as a Satanic figure. Mary Whitehouse and her organisation also complained bitterly about Carpenter conducting Satanic masses in a real abbey ("The Swords of Wayland"). When, at an archery meet, this was mentioned to him, Carpenter wryly concluded, "These people don't know how TV is made. They just don't realise that just because we walk through the front door of a location, it doesn't mean in the next scene we're in its actual crypt and not a studio set." | |

Depraved Homosexual: By very strong innuendo, Philip Mark. A brutal tyrant who dresses from head to foot in black leather, keeps his boy-servants clad in finery while the girls remain in rags, and flirtatiously chin-chucks one of the boys. He also repeatedly hits on Guy in a rather unsubtle manner. He responds to Gisburne's introduction by eyeing Guy head to toe and making the sultry declaration that he'll surely "find a use for" him, and pats Guy's hand while declaring, "you're mine now." Later he tells Guy, "you must show me this tunnel of yours", which results in a startled look from Guy, even though Philip is ostensibly referring to a secret passage in the castle. Robert de Rainault calls Mark a "posturing catamite" to his face, which leads to rage but not an actual denial. | |

Foreshadowing: early in season 1, Robin heads out alone on a task that has heavy potential to become a Suicide Mission.

Which is exactly what happens when Robin of Loxley is killed and Robert of Huntingdon is called by Herne to carry on his work. | |

A Nazi by Any Other Name: The Sons of Fenris are a (relatively) subtle Middle Ages example. They greet Gulnar by shouting "Hail Gulnar" and punching the air, they use a sun cross as their symbol (which is not necessarily Nazi in nature, but is a banned Nazi emblem in Germany when used in an overt right-wing political context), and Adolf Hitler had a personal near-totemic fascination with wolves. | |

Since the bride's father believes that Robin's gang has the money, he can't ask for it back, and the Sheriff can keep the silver without having to marry "that stupid girl". | |

Dude, Not Funny!: In "The Time of the Wolf" one of Gulnar's warriors, who worship the mythical Norse wolf Fenris as a god, jokes that the stores of food in the abbey they've seized "should keep the wolf from the door". He laughs at his own joke and some of the others chuckle, but stop abruptly when they see the Death Glare Gulnar gives them. Apparently even an evil sorcerer and leader of a murder cult won't tolerate blasphemy. | |

"Eureka!" Moment | |

"Eureka!" Moment: In the first episode, the Old Prisoner's phrase "feet first" gives Robin an idea for escaping Nottingham's dungeon. The next episode has a Repeat What You Just Said moment, with Gisburne's remark about a "ferret" moving the Sheriff to use Jennet of Elsdon against the outlaws. At the end of season 2, a messenger's sarcastic salutation ("good hunting") to the Sheriff inspires the Sheriff to lead a hunt in Sherwood Forest, which results in the first Robin's death. | |

Deconstructed | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_db30c9d0 | comment |
Deconstructed with Queen Isabella. During an assassination attempt she flees in terror, and watches as Robert and her attacker fight, actively following them through the church just so she can watch them go at it. Finally Robert has the assassin unarmed and at his mercy, at which point Isabella shoots him in the back with a crossbow. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Generally averted, as just about every character with any social power will be evil. The closest is Earl Godwin in "The Swords of Wayland" - it's strongly hinted that he agrees with Robin that there's something dodgy about Morgwyn, and deliberately lets Robin and Marion escape. The Abbot of Thornton is also fairly helpful, once he's finished insulting Tuck. | |

| Robin of Sherwood / int_dfc3e10a | comment |
The Dung Ages: Nearly every peasant character is filthy, with Robin of Loxley a notable exception. The nobility isn't that much better off; Sir Guy of Gisburne is shocked when he learns that Prince John takes two baths a week. (The Sheriff, on the other hand, takes a few baths on screen - and on one occasion shares the tub with Gisburne.) | |

History Repeats: At the end of the final episode, Marion finds the dead body of Gulnar's golem copy of Robert and thinks it's Robert, which is played very seriously as a trauma. Then immediately after she leaves the Sheriff and Gisburne also arrive and find the body, and the same mistake is played for laughs. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_e16217f8 | comment |
Historical Villain Upgrade: Richard the Lionheart is as corrupt a figure as his brother Prince John. Ironically, also a Historical Hero Upgrade, as Prince John is still played as nasty, but arguably has more dignity and intelligence than he had in real life. In double irony, Richard was a pompous warrior, who couldn't speak a word of English, despised England itself (but appreciated the income from its taxes), and was the reason for John having to tax the place dry, in order to pay for his wars and his ransom when he got captured on return from Crusade. John was an awful warrior, but an excellent administrator, and it was probably largely due to his skill with money that England didn't go bankrupt thanks to his brother. Alas for history, romantic thugs were, and are, far more popular than competent administrators. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: It may be a coincidence, but "Cromm Cruac" has suspicious similarities of concept to the Doctor Who story "Castrovalva", from a couple of years before: an apparently idyllic community and place of healing turns out to be a doomed trap set for the protagonists by a recurring villain. | |

Bows Versus Crossbows: The series paints a clear moral distinction between the two. Anyone who uses a crossbow is evil, almost without exception (Marian once grabs up a crossbow in a melee to shoot Gisburne with). This is due to the long tradition of the longbow as a symbol of English military might and righteousness, while crossbows are for, eew, French people. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Robin of Sherwood / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The writers not only knew the name of the late 12th c. Earl of Huntingdon but that he was a member of the Scottish royal family. David of Huntingdon's eldest son WAS named Robert, though he is supposed to have died young - or been disinherited? According to the DVD Commentary, one left-handed extra whose scene required her to write in a ledger was asked to write with her right hand, considering the stigma against left-handed people in those days. They also demonstrated a surprisingly accurate view of England in the Middle Ages (save for the obviously fantastic bits), up to and including the incorporation of historical ephemera (like the fact that King Richard once forced his noblemen to bid on their titles at an auction in Nottingham). Most of their take upon the Robin Hood legend is also well-rooted in oft-times obscure earlier versions. Phil Rose, who played Friar Tuck, also expressed his admiration for the attention to detail, noting that one particular director would refuse to film a forest scene if the location included any species of tree that wasn't around in the Middle Ages. When The Knights Templar showed up, one of them spoke only German (although he clearly understood his leader's French). He addressed the leader not with any of the ordinary German words for leader or commander, but as "Komtur" — a word that refers only to a commander in a knightly order such as the Templars. Most writers who failed to do their research would have had Marion riding sidesaddle, as the 1938 film does; it's "common knowledge" that 'proper' women didn't ride astride until less than a century ago. In fact, a sidesaddle that allows a woman to control her own horse at a gallop (as seen in the film) wasn't invented until the time of Queen Victoria. Marion riding astride is not only historically accurate, but impressively researched. How many people know Prince John had a first wife named Hadwisa that he divorced on grounds of barrenness? He was actually right about that. Hadwisa was a wealthy heiress and married twice after John but never had any children. The description of the evil pagan god Cromm Cruac in the episode of the same name comes from a genuine Irish legend, whose main source really is a manuscript called the Book of Leinster. Sir Philip Marc (note spelling) was a real person who was Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and later Lincolnshire under King John, and made himself so unpopular that one clause of Magna Carta specifically included him and his relatives in a list of people to be stripped of all royal offices. | |
