Awesome ! That's by far the best (to screen) adaptation of Robin Hood available. Awesome series..(damn now I'll have to get the dvd's )

Is that the one with Michael Praed?

Michael Praed as Robin of Locksley, replaced in season 3 by Blondie-Boy Connery as Robert of Huntingdon.
Ray Winstone as Will Scarlet.
Mark Ryan as Nasir - not a traditional figure from the legend, but damned cool nevertheless.
Clive Mantle as Little John.
Judi Trott as Marion.
Robert Addie as Guy of Gisburne.
Nickolas Grace as Robert de Rainault, the Sheriff of Nottingham. He gets all the best lines - he's fantastic

Guest appearance by John Rhys-Davies as Richard the Lionheart. Awesome.

Richard O'Brien in a recurring villain role.

Boba Fett as the outlaws' villager contact.

Music by Clannad.

(When the series first aired in NZ, it played on our gaming night, at about the time we normally started playing. The guy whose flat we played at didn't have a TV... so every gaming night, we'd all troop across the road to his cousin's place, watch RoS, then play D&D... )

Man, it's been a long, long time since I've seen Robin of Sherwood. That was a damn good show!

I was just thinking about this show the other day, and wishing it was on DVD. Now I guess it is! Very cool show, though I really lost interest after the departure of Michael Praed. I think Nasir was my favorite character, maybe followed by Will Scarlet. And of course, all of that Hern the Hunter stuff and the Clannad music really got me. It was such a great show for a 13-14 year old D&D player. I'd have the show on and my copies of the 1st edition PHB and DMG sitting next to me. When Hern came on, I'd open to the Celtic legends section of Deitys and Demigods!

Whoot! This is got to go on my Amazon Wish List.
