Robin of Sherwood - Set 1 The centuries-old legend of Robin Hood was never more vividly brought to life than in this acclaimed British series. Combining real history with elements of magic and mysticism, and set against a backdrop of gritty medieval realism, Robin of Sherwood has captivated fans of all ages. Heading up the superb ensemble cast are Michael Praed (Dynasty) as Robin of Loxley, Ray Winstone (Sexy Beast) as seething-mad Scarlet, and Nickolas Grace (Brideshead Revisted) as the greedy, conniving Sheriff of Nottingham. Shot entirely on location in English castles and countryside, the authentic atmosphere is enhanced by an award-winning soundtrack of haunting melodies performed by the Irish band Clannad. Includes all 13 episodes in Series 1 & 2.

Customer Review: Finally a wide release
For those not able to get the “Robin of Sherwood Complete Series” Region 1 box set put out a few years ago, this release is a long time coming. It appears that all the special features in the box set are reproduced here, so there is nothing new that early adopters are missing. For those who are not yet aware, this is perhaps the best Robin Hood television show ever produced, and it has tremendous staying power. Both Robin the commoner and Robin the nobleman are woven into this series, which makes it unique.

True, Michael Praed (later replaced by blonde pansy Jason Connery) and his crew are pretty darn clean for living out in the woods, but it just wouldn’t be as much fun to watch a bunch of scruffy, dirty ruffians. Also worthy of note are the guest appearances by Richard “Riff Raff” O’Brien. So throw your verisimilitude out the window and sit down to some quality yarn spinning!
