I've now finished Robin of Sherwood.
A fine two parter to finish off in which sorcerer Richard O' Brien returns and summons the Wolf of Fenriz to kill Herne The Hunter.
Sadly the conclusion isn't quite right as it was supposed to continue for a fourth series but was canceled so several long running plot strands are left hanging but the actual double episode The Hour of the Wolf came to it's natural end.
Really impressive when it got going with all the folklore and mythology even if it does take it's influence and ideas from a myriad of sources which have nothing to do with Robin Hood.
A recommended set from Network if you can still get hold of it with a good selection of commentaries and makings of as well as new interviews with writer Richard Carpenter, Clannad and others
