DVD Description
This DVD includes all 13 episodes of the popular BBC series starring Jonas Armstrong in the title role.

Robin of Locksley (Armstrong) returns home from defending King and country in the Holy Land, to find a corrupt and changed Nottingham. The ruthless Sheriff of Nottingham (Keith Allen) is now in charge, crippling the poor with greedy taxes and severely punishing them for stealing even a loaf of bread.

The ever-gallant Robin and his faithful, if slightly unenthusiastic, manservant Much (Sam Troughton) are determined to fight for the good of these hapless people. Aided by a gang of talented outlaws including Will Scarlett (Harry Lloyd), the ingenious engineer who can construct anything from any material, just as long as it's wood, Little John (Gordon Kennedy), the man-mountain who can destroy all in his path, but is afraid of a trickling stream, and Djaq (Anjali Jay), master of trickery and disguise.

As each episode unites the gang against the Sheriff and his dastardly deeds, will they succeed in thwarting injustice to relieve the poverty and hunger of the good people of Locksley?

Starring: Joe Armstrong, Jonas Armstrong, Gordon Kennedy, Lucy Griffiths, Keith Allen, Richard Armitage, Sam Troughton, William Beck, Harry Lloyd, Anjali Jay.

Synopsis
Lavish retelling of the legendary hero who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Newcomer Jonas Armstrong stars as Robin Hood, with comedian Keith Allen playing his formidable foe, the Sheriff of Nottingham. Features all the episodes from the first series.

Customer Reviews

Fabulous
This is great, and the HD is wonderful. Very few realise how strongly anti Bush-Blair this series really is, and that's great too! Some poeple eem to take it too seriously and they miss the point. The only problem is the dual HD/DVD format, which totally sucks. A couple of errors on discs are almost inevitable, and sure enough, this freezes on a couple of occasions. Dumb decision to do this, as these are SO much harder to produce.
Otherwise, no hesitation!
