Product Description

Description

The landmark television series and definitive modern take on the Robin Hood legend!

Robin of Loxley is chosen by Herne the Hunter, horned god of the forests, to become his son and champion. As "The Hooded Man," Robin must forge a band of outlaws and renegades into a force that will defy the Norman rulers who are oppressing the people, especially Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham.

This acclaimed 1980s British series is known as the first adaptation of the Robin Hood legend to use elements of real-life history and pagan myth and authentic period production design. No merry men, no green tights, and its Nottingham Castle is full of smoke, gloom, and litter. The mood of mysticism and magic is enhanced by its award-winning soundtrack, performed by the Irish band Clannad. The inspired casting of the series launched the careers of Ray Winstone and Michael Praed. Set 1 includes the 13 episodes starring Praed as Robin.

5.0 out of 5 stars The True Robin Hood, Nov 27 2007

By	Estrild (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I was so lucky to catch the series from episode one, on tv, at the age of 15, and was thus aligned and enlightened, as many others were, to the things that matter, and to how things should really work, and to what life is all about, the Greenwood, Herne, justice, freedom, friendship, love, valour and honour, and most importantly, life as it should be; natural, beautiful and free. This is more than just a show, this series founded the spiritual views of many, reminded us of our heritage, taught us who we are, and what that means. Robin is real, he is gritty, brave, kind, just, spiritual and free. He is the English hero now that he always was, and in my mind, and the minds of many, only Michael Praed can play him. Here is England in the days of Saxons and Normans, before it formed as a united country. The trees are bright and deciduous, and full of magic and lore. The outlaws sleep on the dirty ground and do not settle in one place, ever protected by the forest. "Stop! You fools! We'll never find them in the greenwood!" It is an old show though so it isn't sharp and pristine like a modern film, but that doesn't matter to me. The music by Clannad, is at times gorgeous and moving, at other times, suspenseful and tense, and perfect for every scene. It is a rare showcase of native English life and religion. I am heartliy saddened by the new imposter on English telly now. If you want to know about being a native of your own land, or are generally interested in English folklore and legend, which no doubt has paralells in European myth and legend, you can't miss our Robin of Sherwood, especially the first two episodes, which play like a film and explain the main story. I end with a quote by Robin said to our Norman opressor Guy of Gisbourne, "I'm not a serf. I'm a free man.", words to live by.
