    Please, please let this series be on DVD someday soon. This series was the most exquisitely crafted work of art...it would be a tragedy if it were never to be released on DVD. This series was magnificent...beautiful & talented actors, historically impressive, a VERY REAL, raw and inspirational experience. The performances given by Michael Praed were so powerful...no one will ever be a better Robin Hood (not even Jason Connery in the later episodes!) As another viewer mentioned, I also grew up watching this series. It is in my top 5 all-time favorites! My tapes are worn-out as well...I would also seriously buy every single episode if it were ever realeased on DVD, regardless of price.

    I really would like to get this series, but... I did pick up the few VHS tapes of this series.

    Will the full series ever be released for US audiences? Region 2, (UK) already has it, but I don't have a dvd player that plays that.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars absolut genial
    Reviewed in Germany on December 2, 2002
    War schon die Aufbereitung der Staffel 1 und 2 als DVD ausgezeichnete, so hat beim ersten Teil der 3. Staffel doch die Kommentare von Jason Connery, Mark Ryan und Clive Mantle noch eine gewaltige Steigerung gebracht und einem eine andere Sichtweise der Folgen vermittelt.
    Die Filmgestaltung ist nach wie vor traumhaft - und ich bin auch überzeugt, dass die neue Besetzung der Robin Hood Rolle mit Jason Connery perfect geglückt ist. Es kam neuer Wind in die Serie und auch eine andere Perspektive der Geschichten.
    Ich kann die DVD nur empfehlen.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really excellent Robin Hood series

    Robin of Sherwood

    This has got to be by far the best television interpretation of the Robin Hood story since the origin Richard Greene series of the 1950's and 1960s which are classics and stand on their own without comparison.

    I am and have been since a boy an avid collector of anything 'Robin Hood' and so I purchased the VHS complete set when they were released and they were one of the first that I upgraded to DVD. I have watched these episodes several times but this was the first time I have revisited them from beginning to end for several years over several consecutive nights.

    There were three seasons, composed of 26 one-hour long episodes transmitted from 1984 until 1986. The show was shot almost entirely on location, mostly in the northeast and southwest of England in and around Bristol and its surrounding counties. Primary locations were the Blaise Castle Estate in North Bristol and Vassals Park to the south.

    Robin of Sherwood is one of the best treatments of the core Robin Hood legend since The Adventures of Robin Hood, featuring a realistic period setting and costumes and introducing the character of a Saracen outlaw and was given a slightly mythical feel by the occasional mystical episode and the appearance of a Herne the hunter character who may or may not be real but gives Robin guidance and encouragement.

    Michael Praed played Robin of Loxley in the first two seasons but the character was killed off at the end of season two and replaced with another 'Man in the Hood' played by Jason Connery. The outlaw band featured Ray Winstone, Clive Mantle, Mark Ryan and Phil Rose,with Judy Trott as Maid Marion. The Sheriff of Nottingham was excellently presented by Nickolas Grace and Guy of Gisburne by Robert Addie.

    The third season end with a cliff hanger episode which was sadly never to be resolved as Goldcrest the shows financial backers ran out of capital and the fourth season was cancelled; HTV could not afford to finance it alone, and so Robin of Sherwood came to an unexpected and abrupt end.

    Never-the-less this is probably the best 'Robin Hood' (with the exception of the movie Robin and Marion) made since the early 1980s and has stood the test of time both in the quality of production and the filming.

    This was on time and was a Christmas present for my brother. He has played it and has no complaints to make.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nicht mehr ganz so gut wie die ersten Staffeln
    Reviewed in Germany on June 1, 2004
    Nach dem Tod von Robin "Michael Praed" Hood am Ende der zweiten Staffel musste ein neuer "hooded Man" her. Und der fand sich auch in Form des Sohnes von Sean Connery, Jason Connery. Und der spielt seine Rolle auch gar nicht schlecht, aber irgendwie fehlt im das gewisse Etwas, was Micheal Praed definitiv besaß. Hinzu kommt noch die zunehmend dünnere Story der Folgen. Man hat irgendwie das Gefühl, dass langsam die Luft raus ist. Was aber nicht bedeutet, dass auch auf dieser DVD nicht wieder das ein oder andere Highlight dabei ist. Die meisten Fans der Serie werden auch diesen neuen Robin Hood mögen.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A different feel
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2007
    Not convinced by Jason Connery's acting which lacks a real depth of expression.That said, the idea of introducing Robert of Huntingdon
    is a good one and is refreshingly different from the firebrand
    yeoman in Michael Praed. The episodes in the first part of this series
    are quite good ( two of them are written by Antony Horowitz), but some
    of the Arthurian stuff is plain nonsense and looks it. The episode
    entitled the "Sheriff of Nottingham" is particularly good and entertaining. For those of you who dislike the seemingly anti-Christian
    ,pro-pagan element that Carpenter has introduced, the "Cross of st Ciricus" confounds that completely. In this series, also, Much the Miller's son comes of age which is nice to see.
