Product Description

The landmark television series and definitive modern take on the Robin Hood legend!

Robin of Loxley is chosen by Herne the Hunter, horned god of the forests, to become his son and champion. As "The Hooded Man," Robin must forge a band of outlaws and renegades into a force that will defy the Norman rulers who are oppressing the people, especially Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham.

This acclaimed 1980s British series is known as the first adaptation of the Robin Hood legend to use elements of real-life history and pagan myth and authentic period production design. No merry men, no green tights, and its Nottingham Castle is full of smoke, gloom, and litter. The mood of mysticism and magic is enhanced by its award-winning soundtrack, performed by the Irish band Clannad. The inspired casting of the series launched the careers of Ray Winstone and Michael Praed. Set 1 includes the 13 episodes starring Praed as Robin.
