The Adventures of RobinHood was a popular, long-running British television series (143 half-hour, fl and white episodes, 1955 - 1960) starring Richard Greene as RobinHood.
The series was an immediate hit on both sides of the Atlantic, and Lew Grade continued to commission 35mm shows until the late 1970s.
If it had not been for the success of The Adventures of RobinHood the world might never have seen The Saint, The Prisoner or Thunderbirds.
Robin says that he blames Richard for the state of affairs in England and particularly blames him for creating a situation where ruffians like Robin and his men have to take the law into their own hands.
Nor do Robin and his men take undue pride in their activities, recognizing that their rebellion is a sign of a badly disordered society.
At its heart it is really a retelling of the RobinHood myth and reflects a truth that we forget at our own peril : for centuries now, liberty in the West has been protected by the guns and arrows of a freedom-loving yeomanry.
