The Beeb is going to make a new Robin Hood TV series!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4371582.stm

I guess everyone's begginers courses are going to be even more clogged than usual after it airs :thumbsup:. Seriously though, it'll be nice to see Robin Hood back on the telly and it ought to be good PR for Archery. :psst: Oh and they're looking for longbow archers as well - anyone fancy being an extra?

oh for :censored: sake, Robbie Williams as Robin Hood! :thumbsdow :thumbsdow :thumbsdow But I suppose if he is cast it'd give more cred. to archery (if indeed you believe that Robbie Williams has ever had any credibility!)

I think Daniel (English Bowmen) should audition.
And the rest of AIUK should be the extras - that'd be fun.
Do you think they'd provide cake?

Wasn't it discovered that in the 'olden days*' they used to use recurved longbows

*but I may be talking even older olden days than Robin Hood...

If they can guarantee cake, I'll fly over especially to play Marian opposite Robbie Williams' Robin Hood. :cutie: :cake:

The Robbie Williams thing has to be a publicity stunt...please let it be a publicity stunt :eek:

My money's on Christopher Eccleston to play Robin...only for one season though :p

Robbie Williams, David Dickinson, Norah Batty- anyone, positively anyone will be better than the cringingly appalling Jason Connery who, some of you may remember, was the last incarnation of The Hooded Man. I'm hoping that they try to bring some grit (it's grim up NorthofNottingham) into it but the only chance of that is if they film it on the Doncaster Airport runway.

If it's Robbie we're going to get son of Men In Tights.
