Robin Hood

[Captain_BluTac]

Oh, f***ing hell, I hated that Jethro b****.

The actor isn't too bad, but he was a bit weak in DW and also DS is claiming that he is going out with that bloke form Cape Wrath.

Tony Head is playing King Uther and Colin Morgan (the actor who played Jethro in DW "Midnight") is playing Arthur

Cool, wonder what it will be like.

Probably dreadful- most attempts at Arthurian adaptations are. The BBC shouldn't attempt to make a historical drama set 1500 years ago on the kind of budget to which they have access. They are better off plumping entirely for the romantic tradition; with late medieval suits of armour, elegant palaces and mythical monsters. I suppose the role of Merlin as the principle character hints at this. Maybe it has the potential to be a kind hybrid of "The Tudors" and a higher-brow "Xena".
