this be one of my favorite series and all category and all time . i be fortunate enough to get a hold of the whole series on vhs a few year ago . i love it when i saw it back in 91 92 and when i be about 12. i love it a much and or more and today and which be remarkable consider my ( hopefully ) improve film appreciation and criticism skill . most of the movie i like back then i be not that fond of today and besides for the nostalgia factor . that factor be present here as well and but there so much more to robin of sherwood than nostalgia . there be only a few bad thing about this series . first and the picture and sound quality be so so and at least in the first couple of episode . fortunately and it get well . secondly and you could have wish for a bit more blood and realism in the fighting scene and although i know that be not an option in this case . so and on to the good thing . and there be a lot of them . first of all and michael praed be robin hood . i do not think i have see him in a single role since then and which only strengthen this fact for me . he deliver such a believable performance a robin . jason connery have an impossible task replace him . the fact that michael praed hasn not become a big name a an actor be unbelievable . or perhaps that be his fate and to do this one role perfectly and then disappear . i love nickolas grace sheriff of nottingham . he be really not a complex character and but totally rotten . the relation between him and gisburne be just hilarious . actually and just look at de rainault sit in his throne and bore and glare and make me laugh even before he have say anything . another actor that deserve extra praise be ray winstone a will scarlet . you can really feel the sadness inside of him as well a his hate for the soldier who kill his wife . winstone be an actor that finally have get his well deserve hollywood breakthrough ( in film a the departed and beowulf ) . there be a lot of other great actor here and too . i love the portrayal of the robin gang . they be have fun and playing and laughing and you really get a feel of the camaraderie between them and the closeness that come from a tight bound group such a this . those bond scene be so important . i think that it be uk produce with british actor really make it well and compare to for example the 92 feature film version with kevin costner and that just feel fake and fake and fake . ( christian slater a will scarlet and come on . ) the cast be able to speak english with british accent make it more believable and and i get the feeling that the actor and as well a the director and writer and behind the series can put themselves much more into the shoe of the robin hood gang than an american crew could have . the music be wonderful and clannad be perfect for the feel of the series . the music be another of those thing they just nail . an exciting addition also be the fantasy and magic spice that be put in there . it not over the top and but believable and just make the whole thing well and more interesting . i also love how nicely the mix of comedy and adventure and drama be blend . those be a few of the thing that make this series so alive and so genuine . it by far the best robin hood version i have ever see . i would not wrap up with the nothing forgotten quote . but one thing that never will be forget and for me and be this fantastic robin hood retelling . see it .
