Just wanted to know what people thought about the new series of Robin Hood coming on the box soon? Some will say that the man in tights has been done to death, but I think that if they can make it somehow refreshing and the lead actor is good, then it might be very watchable. Lisa x

Men in tights are pillars of society!

God bless them all.

Sam, I've got a horrible image of him in tights now running through the woods, HELP!

Anyway, what do we all think of a new series? Lisa x

Robin of Sherwood TV series with Michael Praed was as good as it got. Paganism, history and characters covered in crap who actually looked liked they lived in a small brackish pond in the middle of a wood, what more can you ask for....oh and the lucious Judi Trott....

Have the first 2 episodes taped for when I get time to watch them!

I was only really drawn to the series as it used a Sisters Of Mercy song in the trailer... Cool

I'm really impressed with what I've seen so far, I think everyone's done a brilliant job of making it appeal to a whole new generation of fans. Lisa x

Haven't watched it - it was universally slated in the press. Maybe I've missed out although I find Keith Allen annoying.

I know what you mean about Keith Allen, but he's actually very good in this! Lisa x
