Tape theft

On Monday 28 August 2006, it was reported in various British tabloid newspapers that several master tapes for the programme had been stolen from the production base in Hungary, possibly by an extra working on the series. "Now TV executives are deciding whether to pay off the crooks or reshoot large chunks of the show. At worst the series, due to replace Dr Who on Saturday nights from October, could be shelved," reported the Daily Mirror.^[8] August 28 is the 240th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (241st in leap years), with 125 days remaining. ... 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

A BBC spokeswoman would not confirm reports of a £1m ransom being demanded for their safe return or that the tapes were the only copies of the footage. She added: "All reasonable steps are being taken to recover the tapes." The BBC further said that the series would still be shown as planned, despite the theft.^[9]

Given the irony of a Robin Hood series falling victim to theft, and the fact that the crime came to light as the BBC was beginning to publicise the show in preparation for its launch, there was some suggestion in sections of the media that the story was actually a publicity stunt. Guardian Unlimited columnist Mark Borkowski, for example, wrote that: "OK, so I might be a cynical old publicist, but has anybody checked the crime scene on the set of Robin Hood in Hungary? ... expect a miracle in Budapest and don't try getting money on at the bookies for the lost footage turning up, saving the odd red face and gloating PR exec."^[10] The media itself often stages stunts for movies and television shows. ...

The Controller of BBC One, Peter Fincham, denied that the story had been a publicity stunt at the programme's press launch in London on September 6. The cast and crew confirmed at the same launch that they had been forced to re-shoot some scenes in order to cover the material lost on the stolen tapes.^[11] London (pronounced ) is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. ...

The day after the press launch, the BBC News Online website reported that the tapes had been successfully recovered, and two men arrested for their theft.^[3] BBC News Online logo The BBC News Website in February 2006. ...

Characters

The programme uses the majority of the established characters who appear in the many previous versions of the Robin Hood legends, with the exception of Friar Tuck, who does not feature in the first series at all. This created some comment in the British media, with the Daily Express newspaper claiming that Tuck had been "banned from the new BBC series of Robin Hood so that people won't laugh at fat people."^[12] The production team gave varied responses as to why Tuck had been omitted. Foz Allan told The Sunday Times that "We’ve got Robin coming back from fighting in the Holy Land. If you put in a Christian priest, you’ve got to start having conversations I don’t think we were ready for at 7pm on a Saturday night."^[13] However, his co-creator Dominic Minghella insisted to the Radio Times: "It's simply that we had too many characters... If we're commissioned for a second series, we'd definitely consider adding him."^[14] Friar Tuck is a fictional character, a companion of Robin Hood, and one of his Merry Men.

Robin Hood (Jonas Armstrong)

Younger than many of the previous actors to have played the character, Armstrong described his version of Robin Hood as "A believable superhero... Like all leaders, he's an egoist and he's often quite arrogant. He's not an out-and-out hero... He has an undercurrent of darkness."^[15] At the outset of the series, Robin has just returned to England after five years fighting in the Third Crusade, during which he was honoured by King Richard. He is Lord of the Manor of Locksley and was engaged to be married to Marian, but finds much has changed when he returns home. Robin Hood memorial statue in Nottingham. ...

Little John (Gordon Kennedy)

A former resident of Locksley, where his wife and young son still live believing he is dead, John is an outlaw for unknown reasons. He is initially the leader of the outlaw band seen in the forest, and meets Robin when he and his band capture him, Much, Alan and Will at the end of the first episode. This eschews the traditional meeting of John and Robin, seen in almost every other interpretation of the legends, where they battle with quarterstaffs over who can cross a river first. "We had a different version for their meeting and we had something so horrible going on in the episode that a jolly fight was entirely inappropriate," Minghella told the Radio Times.^[14] Little John is a presumably fictional character in the legend of Robin Hood. ...

Marian (Lucy Griffiths)

The daughter of the former Sheriff of Nottingham, Marian is twenty-one years old,^[14] and in another difference from other Robin Hood stories, is not described as a "Maid". "In those days [21] would be considered quite old to still be a maid," actress Lucy Griffiths explained in the Radio Times preview.^[14] Somewhat cold and aloof at times, she is apparently bitter at Robin's long absence fighting in the Crusades, although she does come to aid his escape in the second episode. In the third episode it is revealed that Marian is the mysterious and masked Night Watchman, a Nottingham legend who leaves food and medicine for the people who need it. She is a highly skilled archer. In Episode 7, she is forced into agreeing to marry Sir Guy of Gisbourne, to save herself and her father. She doesn't love Sir Guy, and maybe she secretly still loves Robin. Robin is devestated when he hears the news. Maid Marian is the female companion to the legendary figure Robin Hood. ...

Vaysey, Sheriff of Nottingham (Keith Allen)

Cynical, sarcastic and with a dark sense of humour, Allen's portrayal was described by the Hollywood Reporter as "very camp in the Alan Rickman tradition of sardonic villains,"^[16] referring to Rickman's role as the Sheriff in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Vaysey became the Sheriff three years before Robin's return to England, and helped to install Guy of Gisborne as the new Lord of Locksley. He despises Robin and all that he stands for, but also taunts him for his beliefs. The Sheriff of Nottingham was historically the office responsible for enforcing law and order in Nottingham and bringing criminals to justice. ... This article is about the comedian. ...

Much (Sam Troughton)

Robin's former manservant, he followed his master to the crusades, but was given his freedom after his service there. However, he remains a devoted follower of Robin, and his right-hand man. In the second episode of the series, Robin tells Much that he loves him. Troughton described his character to The Sunday Times as "an innocent who has lost his innocence."^[13] Unlike previous versions of the character, Much is not portrayed in the series as having been a Miller's son — in the second episode, he claims to have no family at all. In some previous modern retellings (including the 1938 film and 1991 TV movie), this role has been taken by the character Will Scarlett and not Much. Much the Millers Son was, in the tales of Robin Hood, a young boy who befriended the merry men. ... Sam Troughton is the son of David Troughton and the grandson of Patrick Troughton. ...

Will Scathlocke was a young nobleman and nephew of Robin Hood who left his fathers estate since he had killed their beligerent cook in a fit of rage. ...

Guy of Gisborne (Richard Armitage)

Installed as the guardian of Locksley in Robin's absence, Gisborne is reluctant to relinquish his power there and takes over the lands fully when Robin is outlawed. He is eager to have his own lands as he has never had any to go with his title, an experience which has left him somewhat bitter. As in other tellings of the Hood legends, he is a suitor of Marian, and she does not return his affections. In the words of the Radio Times, Gisborne is "the chief dispenser of the Sheriff's rough justice... seen killing a man in front of his own son."^[14] In Episode seven, he forces Marian to agree to marry him.

Will Scarlet (Harry Lloyd)

The youngest member of the group. The young son of the local carpenter of Locksley, who has been forced to steal food for the family. Handy with an axe, he is a skilled carpenter which comes in handy for getting the band out of sticky situations. He was due to be hanged for stealing in the first episode but was rescued by Robin and followed him into the forest.

Allan-a-Dale (Joe Armstrong )

First met Robin whilst the Sheriff's men arrested him for stealing on the way from Rochdale. Robin saved him by outwitting the men. He met him again whilst he was to be hanged, and yet again saved by Robin. He followed Robin into the forest and joined the group. He is not a minstrel in this series, but is quite a good archer. He is also a pathological liar, which is useful to Robin. In the stories of Robin Hood, Alan-a-Dale (also spelled Alan-A-Dale, Allen-a-Dale, Allan-a-Dale and Allin-a-Dale) is a young minstrel who was a member of the Merry Men. ... Joe Armstrong is an English actor and son of the popular English actor Alun Armstrong. ...

Djaq (Anjali Jay)

A Saracen who was being transported as a slave, where she helped Robin free her fellow slaves, and destroy a mine belonging to the sherriff. After the incident, Djaq joined the outlaws. She is a woman, but took on the disguise of a boy in order to go to war. She appears to have some knowledge of medicine. Djaq is not one of the traditional characters in the Robin Hood story, although she does follow in the recent tradition of a Saracen character being added to the band of outlaws, which began in versions such as Robin of Sherwood and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Her character has attracted some crticism regarding political correctness.^{[citation needed]} It has been suggested that Serkland be merged into this article or section. ...

Media coverage

On Saturday July 8, 2006, the BBC showed the first teaser trailer for the series — a shot of a flaming arrow flying into the BBC One logo in the corner of the screen as the Robin Hood logo and "Coming Soon" were displayed above. This teaser ran either side of the Doctor Who season finale on BBC One, and was shown on several other occasions on various BBC channels over the following weeks. A longer trailer with actual dialogue from many of the characters was previewed in the Video Room of the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre during the first week of August 2006, as part of the community's Robin Hood Festival.

Wrote the magazine's correspondent Benji Wilson: "Why watch it? You can't beat a good ruckus — Armstrong and his merry co-stars all enrolled at a specially-commissioned 'Hood academy' before filming in Hungary, where they were drilled in horse riding, sword skills and archery."^[17] The article was accompanied by a large publicity photo of Armstrong in costume.

The first full reviews for the programme began appearing on September 7, 2006, after a preview of the opening episode had been shown at the press launch the previous evening. The website of The Guardian said that: "The challenge for the new Robin Hood is to appeal to younger viewers while pulling in their parents as well. It will be no easy task. About as difficult, in fact, as simultaneously firing two arrows from the same bow, and both hitting the target. But as Robin showed in the opening episode, it can be done."^[18] In The Times, critic Paul Hoggart backed the series to be a success: "Armstrong as the rather understated Robin Hood should still be moodily cheeky enough to find his way on to the bedroom walls of a few hundred thousand pubertal girls, and Lucy Griffiths as Marian is inevitably feisty. But the villains steal the show, with Richard Armitage’s Guy of Gisborne off-setting Keith Allen’s gags as the mocking, heavily sarcastic Sheriff. The audience including cast, crew and their friends cheered at the end but this remake should go down well with families at home, too."^[19] September 7 is the 250th day of the year (251st in leap years). ... 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
