Best of: Robin of Sherwood

The show with 2 different Robin Hood in the form of Michael Praed and Jason Connery. Here are the 10 best episodes (I count 2-parters as one)

1. The Swords of Weyland

A coven of devil worshipping witches (disguised as nuns) attempt to bring their master into the world and it is up to Robin and the merry men to stop them. Curious to think that this was early evening family viewing.


2. The Prophecy

Prince John arrives in Nottingham with a mysterious prisoner who has close connection to Marion. Making their first appearances as John and Richard of Leaford respectively Phil Davis and George Baker. And making a guest appearance as John's right hand man playing against his usual good guy image John Nettles.


3. Seven Poor Knight From Acre

A group of Templar Knights take their wrath out on poor villagers believing Robin has stolen their prized relic. Playing one of the Templar Knights is Duncan Preston now best known for his comedic work with Victoria Wood.


4. The Sheriff of Nottingham

King John gets tired of Robert de Renult constant failure to capture Robin Hood . So brings in a ruthless replacement who brings with someone with previous history with one of the merry men. Gust starring Lewis Collins


5. The Greatest Enemy

The Sheriff unlatches a plan to finally to bring Robin Hood to heel. The final episode to feature Michael Preaed as Robin of Loxley


6. The Inheritance

Robin answers a call to help an old family friend and his daughter to defend their castle and the power it keeps from a band ruthless brigands.


7. The Lord of the Trees

Guy of Gisburne brings hired thugs to capture Robin during an important holiday.


8. The Pretender

King John's wife is angered by him taking on a new younger French wife. Her plans involve Robin taking the blame for the new wife's murder. Guest starring Patrica Hodge.


9. The Time of the Wolf

The 2-parter that would become the shows premature finale. The Warlock Gulnar (Richard O'Brien) plans to  kill Herne the Hunter with a duplicate of Robin. Many loose ends were left hanging after financial problems meant no more episodes were made.


10. The Betrayal

King John seems to have turned over an new leaf and villages are seemingly attacked by Robin and the Merry men, is everything as it seems. Gust starring Matt Frewer.
