Robin of Sherwood

Robin of Sherwood

Robin of Sherwood is a British television series, based on the legend of Robin Hood. Created by Richard Carpenter, it was produced by HTV in association with Goldcrest, and ran from 1984 to 1986 on the ITV network. In the United States it was shown on the premium cable TV channel Showtime and, later, on PBS. The show starred Michael Praed and Jason Connery as two different incarnations of the title character. Unlike previous adaptations of the Robin Hood legend, Robin of Sherwood combined a gritty, authentic production design with elements of real-life history, 20th century fiction, and pagan myth. The series is also notable for its musical score by Clannad, which won a BAFTA award.

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
My lord?

Robert de Rainault:
Ah, Gisburne. A little hard of hearing, are we? What are you doing in your armour?

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
The tournament.

Robert de Rainault:
What tournament?

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
At Derby. I'm in the Earl's team!

Robert de Rainault:
You think I employ you to go careering around the countryside getting your head knocked off, whilst I stay here at Nottingham slaving away from cockcrow to sunset? Look at this, look at it! Fines, leases, receipts!

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
You said I could go!

Robert de Rainault:
I said I'd consider it. Well, I have, and you can't. Not now. Read this. [holds out document]

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
My lord Sheriff...

Robert de Rainault:
Read it! Perhaps you'd like to join our noble king in this ridiculous war and cover yourself with glory, fighting against Llewellyn.

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
[reading] It says two hundred men.

Robert de Rainault:
And all the grain I can send him.

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
With due expe... expeded... exped...

Robert de Rainault:
Expedition! It means at once, Gisburne. At once!

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
I know what it means!

Robert de Rainault:
Irritating little man, what does he want Wales FOR? I have a Hundred Court in two days' time, I'm supposed to attend six hangings on Thursday, and my mother's coming for the weekend. [sighs] Wales? It'll be Scotland next. Drunk with power! He'll ruin all of us, just like his wretched brother did.

Sir Guy of Gisburne:
[pause] Your mother?

Robert de Rainault:
Don't be so inane, Gisburne. Just climb out of that iron harness and get your men together. If that's at all possible.
