[MamaGhoul]

oh this looks great, I'm looking forward to this.

[JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump]

I'm looking forward to it too - wonder if it will be suitable for DD, who's 6, almost 7.

[BettyBatShapedSpaghetti]

Jackie, my DD is the same age and wants to watch it. Trouble is she gets scared by the silliest things and has nightmares about cartoons so I was wondering this too.

[ScreamandYellowFeathers]

Oooh I didn't know about this. Dh will love it.
Thanks Kanga!

[peegeeweegeeWITCH]

DS (7) really wants to watch this too.... he has been suffering Dr Who withdrawel symptoms so I hope Robin Hood is the perfect remedy!!

I remember watching Robin Hood when I was younger - the one with Michael Praed - and loving it....

Roll on saturday!!!

[bluesky]

keith allenis going to be such a great baddy!

Great bbc1 sat eve telly for autumn, snuggle up with ds's for robin hood and then make them watch strictly dancing with me!!

[ScareyCaligulaCorday]

Oh dear it clashes with the x factor

[RTKangaMummy]

It is going to be deffo brill IMHO



Watch ITV on sunday everything is repeated

[RTKangaMummy]

[RTKangaMummy]

[Bomper]

Can't wait for this!! For some reason the bloke that plays Robin, reminds me of Charlie from Lost!!

[popsycal]

second the charlie from lost thing

ds1 who is just 4 wants to watch it....wonder if it will be suitable (or if he will actually manage to stay awake!)

[marthamoo]

Definitely watching this - will record it though and make sure it's OK for the kids to watch.

[popsycal]

good idea martha!
wont remind ds1 but will record

[roisin]

Am I the only person who will be completely ignoring Robin, and just watching out to catch any and all glimpses of Guy of Gisborne (Richard Armitage - played John Thornton in North and South)

[wook]

No, me too, am counting hours till the smouldering lovegod that is RA graces the screen again

[roisin]

18 hrs to go ... is that why I can't sleep?!

[roisin]

The boys loved it, and I enjoyed RA
He makes a good baddie, doesn't he?

[Gingerbear]

agree roisin, he is lush.
Keith Allen is playing a corking sheriff.
Will be setting sky+ for the next episode.

[marthamoo]

Didn't like it. Didn't like the whooshy arrow noise with the subtitling. Didn't like the Page 3 girl stylee make up. Didn't like Marian and her thick neck - she is so not pretty enough. Didn't like the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon type slow-mo fight scenes.

And how wooden were some of those actors? Woodener than a wooden thing.

Guy of Gisburne is quite cute and Keith Allen, while no Alan Rickman, doesn't make a bad stab at the Sheriff of Nottingham but...nah...felt it was more suited for CBBC than prime time, adult/child crossover, Saturday night TV.

Really disappointed.

[sockmonkey]

I am still trying to decide about this one. I did enjoy the man candy. Thinking of becoming an outlaw

Marrion was a bit of an odd choice I agree, and it did feel a bit "modern" IYKWIM

Still, It'll do till doctor who comes back on. Will see how it pans out. I hate to jugde something on the first episode.

just seen bits of it kanga,
Marian is no swan-necked Audrey Hepburn is she? (poor girl)

[pudding77]

Thanks Roisin, for saying who Richard Armitage was - it's been driving me mad since last night!! I thought it was ok, not great.

[wook]

Thought it was OK, will persevere just for Guy of Gisbourne if nothing else
