Robin of SherwoodFirst Aired in 1984 Robin of Loxley, aks 'The Hooded Man' lives with his friends in the forests of Sherwood. They fight against the Normandic rulers who oppress the population of the region, especially Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Robin of Loxley was succeeded by Robert of Huntingdon, a renegade nobleman, at the beginning of series three. By gaining the trust of the other members of the group and living his life as Robin would have, he soon proves himself as a worthy successor. This adaptation of the Robin Hood legend leans heavily on mystic and magic. This is also reinforced by the soundtrack of the Irish band Clannad. =================== Release dates UK -- 28 April 1984 West Germany -- 3 October 1984 France -- 23 December 1984 Netherlands -- 24 July 1989 =================== Company credits Production Companies * Goldcrest Films Ltd. * Harlech Television (HTV) Distributors * Independent Television (ITV) (1984) (UK) (TV) * Playhouse Home Video (USA) (VHS) ==================== Awards BAFTA Awards 1987 -- Nominated -- Best Children's Programme (Entertainment/Drama) -- Esta Charkham & Paul Knight 1985 -- Won- - Best Original Television Music -- Clannad ==================== Filming Locations for "Robin of Sherwood" (1984) 1.

Another season, in which Marion was supposed to leave the monastery and finally marry Robin, was planned. However, due to short funds and some crew conflicts, the new episodes never went into production. * The idea to make Gisbourne (Robert Addie) and the second Robin (Jason Connery) half-brothers came when it was noticed by the writers that they were the only cast members with blonde hair. * Nasir was not originally supposed to be a recurring character. He was supposed to be killed by Little John in "Robin Hood & The Sorcerer", but the producers changed their minds at the last minute. It was Mark Ryan's idea for Nasir to be a quiet character. * Following the departure of Michael Praed as Robin, both Neil Morrisey and Paul McGann were considered as replacements before the producers settled on Jason Connery ===================.
