Robin of Sherwood
Robin of Sherwood, first broadcast on ITV between 1984 and 1986, offered a distinctive take on the Robin Hood legend. Created by Richard Carpenter, the series blended historical drama with mystical and folkloric elements, drawing on pagan symbolism and Saxon mythology. It starred Michael Praed and later Jason Connery in the title role, supported by a strong ensemble cast. With its moody cinematography, Clannad’s haunting soundtrack, and a more spiritual portrayal of Sherwood’s outlaws, the show stood apart from earlier adaptations. It developed a cult following and remains one of the most atmospheric and influential interpretations of the Robin Hood story.
