This children's serial for the BBC in the UK later aired on PBS's Once Upon a Classic and A&E's Family Classics in the United States.

This re-telling of the tale reflects 1970s concerns with a grimness you would not expect to find in productions aimed at children outside of the 1970s.

Martin Potter is one of the very few screen Robin Hoods to play a death scene.

Expect the spotlight later in 2025.

In the meantime, enjoy David Dixon's Prince John and Paul Darrow's Sheriff of Nottingham plotting at the sauna. Yes, it's Ford Prefect and Kerr Avon together.
