Robin hood legend of sherwood ending series#

Given the time that has elapsed since cancellation, there seems little likelihood of the series returning, with Richard Carpenter having said he has no interest in writing further episodes. As the series was expensive to make, HTV could not afford to produce it alone and no more episodes were made. Goldcrest had been responsible for critical and commercial hits such as Chariots of Fire (1981) and Gandhi (1982) earlier in the eighties, but had hit a lean spell with such films as Revolution (1985) and Absolute Beginners (1986). The series came to an end when Goldcrest was forced to pull out of the venture due to a downturn in the fortunes of their film arm. However, due to the show's cancellation at the end of the third season this particular story arc was never resolved. During the course of the third season, the new Robin discovers that he is the half-brother of his nemesis Guy of Gisburne (an idea suggested to Carpenter by the fact that both actors had blond hair). Robert of Huntingdon (Jason Connery) and his ' Merry Men', in the final episode ' The Time of The Wolf' (closing shot).ДЄt the end of the second season, Robin of Loxley is killed and Robert of Huntingdon (played by Jason Connery, whose father Sean Connery had played Robin in Robin and Marian) replaces him as Robin Hood. Robin is assisted by Herne The Hunter ( John Abineri), who sometimes appears as a forest spirit representing the powers of light and goodness, and sometimes as a mortal man. As in the legend, Robin is opposed by the Sheriff of Nottingham ( Nickolas Grace) and Sir Guy of Gisbourne ( Robert Addie), as well as the Sheriff's brother Abbot Hugo ( Philip Jackson) (representing all the greedy abbots in the legends). His ' Merry Men' consisted of Will Scarlet (played by Ray Winstone), who changes his name from Will Scathlock after his wife, Elena, is beaten and trampled to death with horses by Brabancon mercenaries Little John (played by Clive Mantle) Friar Tuck (played by Phil Rose) Robin's adopted brother Much (played by Peter Llewellyn Williams) the Saracen Nasir (played by Mark Ryan) and Lady Marian (played by Judi Trott). Michael Praed played Robin Hood (or Robin of Loxley) in the first two seasons. Together with Richard Lester's offbeat 1976 film Robin and Marian, Robin of Sherwood is one of the most influential treatments of the core Robin Hood legend since The Adventures of Robin Hood, featuring a realistic period setting and introducing the character of a Saracen outlaw. It was shot on film, and almost entirely on location, mostly in the northeast and south-west of England HTV West in Bristol was the base of operations and most of the filming was done in and around Bristol and its surrounding counties.

There were three series seasons, comprising a two-hour opening episode and one hour-long episodes, although the pilot is sometimes screened as two one-hour episodes and the episodes comprising 'The Swords of Wayland' were transmitted as one episode in the UK on their original screening on a Bank Holiday weekend in 1985.
