Robin of Sherwood - Set 2 (Blu-Ray)

Connoisseurs of the Robin Hood legend call this action-packed British series the standard by which all other adaptations are measured. Rich with authentic historical detail and cunning plot twists, Robin of Sherwood adds a bit of sorcery and mysticism to the swordplay and social justice that have made the heroic outlaw so endearing and enduring. In these tales, the young nobleman Robert of Huntingdon (Jason Connery, Shanghai Noon) assumes the mantle of the fallen Robin of Loxley. Guided by the forest spirit Herne, he reassembles Robin’s band and resumes the campaign against the greedy Sheriff of Nottingham. Children and adults will thrill to Robin’s feats of derring-do in the mysterious, misty depths of medieval Sherwood. With an award-winning score by the traditional Irish band Clannad, this set includes the final 13 episodes of the series.

Disc 1
Herne’s Son Parts One & Two - With Robin of Loxley dead and his band of outlaws scattered, the forest deity Herne chooses a new champion: Robert of Huntingdon, the earl’s son. But the privileged young man remains reluctant to accept Herne’s commission—until Lady Marion is kidnapped.

The Power of Albion - With outlaws once again ensconced in Sherwood, an infamous torturer known as the King’s Devil comes to Nottingham. The sheriff and Guy of Gisburne aim to discover the new outlaw leader’s identity by watching Marion, whose father has forbidden her to rejoin the band.

Disc 2

Rutterkin - Newly arrived in Sherwood, Robin’s uncle, Lord Edgar, frames a poor old woman as a witch who cast a spell on King John at the request of the Earl of Huntingdon. He then sets a trap for Robin and his men when they attempt to rescue Robin’s father.
