Trivia:

Four tapes were swiped in August 2006 in Budapest, where the 13-part series was being edited, and the thieves were demanding one million pounds (1.9 million dollars, 1.5 million euros) for their safe return. The production offered a 40,000 pounds reward for the return of the tapes. The Hungarian police found the tapes the next month.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Robin's bow is supposedly a Saracen weapon. However, Saracen bows were shorter, and were composite bows constructed using glue which would rapidly deteriorate in England, causing it to fall apart.

Get a grip people

Look, this is the first comment I have ever written but was forced to respond to the Muppet's out there that slated the programme, and the BBC. Robin Hood over the years has been interpreted in many different guises but to the slate this after 10 or 20 minutes is ludicrous. Just because it's not what you expected doesn't mean that MILLIONS of people will not enjoy it on a Saturday night with the rest of their family. Get a grip you pretentious, I know better than you people. It's an entertaining, family orientated programme with no illusions about being a serious drama. What else do you expect in the Saturday night Dr. Who slot!!
