Robin Hood (2006 series)
The story of the popular English hero, an ordinary man helping the poor people, has become a theme of inspiration for many productions -books, historical research materials on whether he really existed, movies and series. The newest television release was the production Robin Hood, that started in 2009 and broadcasted 39 episodes in 3 seasons untill 2009. Funded by and made for BBC One (with the coorperation of BBC America), the series were made by the independant Tiger Aspect Productions and gained significant success among TV fans across the UK and the US.
The story retells the tale of Robin Hood -a man who returns to England after three years of fighting in the Third Crusade for the King. However, upon his return he is surprised and disgusted by the way the sheriff of Nottingham is coping with the problems. Because of his rebelous attitude he is proclaimed to be an outlaw, a person who is wanted, a criminal. This is when Robin decides to retreat and hide in the Sherwood Forest with his gang (that consists of his best friend Much, two young men Robin saved from certain death, and two more members hiding and supporting him) and steal cash and gold from the rich, from those who committ the real unlawful acts and make the town suffer. Along the flow of the episodes different adventures would stand on the characters'way -they will have to escape from the constant searches for them, try not to allow the sheriff’s cruel plans to be materialized, and even they will have to save the King’s life after the sheriff of Nottingham has planned an assasination and overtaking of the throne.
The three seasons of the production were seen by almost 17 million people across the UK and the US which made it a successful release. With its typical British themes, humor and atmosphere, it gained the love of the TV fans worldwide.
