Men...those were the gooood old days

I still remember.

fυςk!!! fυςking remember; one TV series I fυςking enjoyed watching back then on NTA 2 channel 5

ROBIN.... HOOD.... i loved it as a kid.

Oh I REMEMBER!!! lol; I had a huge crush on the actor who played Robin Hood, Michael Praed, he and the lady who played Marion (Judi Trott) were so cute together. Praed left after the second series to be in the Prime Time soap DYNASTY, he was replaced by Sean Connery's son Jason; who was introduced as Robert Huntingdon. The programme was the second Robin Hood version I watched, the first one was an old movie 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Haviland. I liked this series better.

I can still remember glimpses from the series..but its the score i recall the most.
its been ages tho

i remember very well.

What I can never 4get is tha Original Sound Track....still humming in my lipz/head;

Robiiiiiiiiiin, eh eh eh tan tan taaaaaan tan tan ---sumting like that sha

The giant uses a stick accurately while the chairman on the right of the pic uses 2 swordz perfectely [can't remember tha fat man work again, I think a spy or a arrow shooter, can't remember].....mehn, it have taaaaaaaaaaaaayed oooo

I didnt watch it but seems the first episode detailed how robin hood became an outlaw.

his village was burned down or something.

he gathered his band of merry men afterwards, the rest of the series is about frequent skirmishes with the barons, etc.

strongly paganistic, it also preceded yemi my lover.

there was a minotaur or something like it which they worshipped.

The tracks 'Robin Hood theme' and Strange Land' is from Clannad- an Irish band who are into traditional Irish folk music. A past member of this band is Eithne Brennan; whom the world knows as ENYA, who left to go solo. Three of the current members are her siblings, the other two her uncles.

Yes, his village got burned down by that evil Sheriff of Nottingham. His father, Ailric was the Chieftain of the village and Guardian of Herne's silver arrow. The Sheriff burned down Loxley village and killed Robin's father later because he refused to hand over the arrow. Robin met his 'Merry Men' in prison and they all escaped, on the same day he met the beautiful lady that later became his wife.
Yeah, strongly paganistic; but it was keeping in time with the ways back then; most people were disillusioned by the church at the time because majority of the abbots (the Sheriff's brother was used as an example in the series) were greedy hypocrites, preferring to own as much lands as possible than be spiritual advisers. 'Herne the hunter' the man with antlers on his head is a character in English folklore; a spirit of the forest.

i thought the music sounded like Enya.

Well she was a member of the band at that time before she went solo.

Speaking of which, the actor who played that scary baron; the one who wanted to sacrifice Marion but Robin killed him- died on Tuesday of Parkinson's Disease. He was 76.

It could only be Enya. 'Roooo...bin Robin Hood....

I shall raise a glass to him. These old shows, they were amazing. The Wonder Years, Moonlighting, P.S. I Love You...

lol, it wasn't just her singing it; the rest of the band; her silblings and uncles. She hadn't gone solo at the time.

Clannad won a BAFTA award for those soundtracks in ROBIN HOOD OF SHERWOOD and they more than deserved it. All the songs are in their album, LEGEND- good name for it

The Wonder Years (the final episode bummed me out a lot)
The Rich also Cry
No One But You
The Legend of King Arthur (my brothers and I LOVED that series)
The Smuggler (the main character played a guest role in an episode of Robin of Sherwood)
Rent- a-Ghost (so sad all three actors are late now )
P.S. I luv U
Moonlighting (NEVER missed that)
Jake and the fat man
Hawaii 5-0
Matlock
The Love Boat
Some Mothers Do 'ave them

honeyA:
.. Rent- a-Ghost (so sad all three actors are late now )...

God, no

... There was this show where the narrator would strum a guitar and go 'I'll tell you a story, you'll tell me a story. I'll tell you a story.. That's what we here for...'

I blame The Wonder Years for making me into an incurable romantic.

BoboYekini:
God, no

Yes, they are all gone now The guy who played Mr. Davenport died first and the guy who played Mr Mumford refused to continue the show without him. So the actor who played Mr. Claypole continued with new characters
I remember that show, it's called "We'll Tell You A Story" I don't remember the guy's surname, but I know his first name is Christopher. Talented chap.

the guy's name is Christopher Lillicrap; British television presenter, writer and composer. I too raise a glass to the 3 Rent-a-Ghost actors, to Anthony Valentine who played the Baron in Robin of Sherwood and also to the actor who played Gisbourne (Robin's nemesis); Robert Addie- he died in 2003 from cancer. He was 43

Tell me he's alive somewhere.
