Robin of Sherwood, Set 1
Gritty, realistic, laced with history, magic, and pagan myth, this landmark television series is the definitive modern take on the Robin Hood legend. Made in the 1980s for Britain’s ITV, shot on location in England, it features authentic period production design (no Merry Men, no green tights) and an award-winning soundtrack by the Irish band Clannad. As seen on Showtime, Set 1 includes the first 13 episodes (with Michael Praed as Robin). CC; approx. 11 hours 19 min. on 5 DVDs. |
