Robin Hood: Season One

Robin Hood Week

     Olivia at Meanwhile in Rivendell is hosting Robin Hood Week at her blog! I really need a blog party right now to breathe some life back into my site! Also, Rachel at Hamlette's Soliloquy is hosting a Robin Hood Week giveaway at her site and she has some great stuff!

Kickoff Tag

What was your first exposure to Robin Hood?

     - Disney's 1973 animated film Robin Hood. This is a family favorite and my brothers and I watched it religiously! (I still love singing The Phony King of England...)

  

On a scale of 1 to 10, how big a fan are you?
     - Maybe a 7...seeing as I have never actually read the books.

How many versions and spin-offs of the legend have you experienced?
     - Disney's Robin Hood, Robin Hood (1990 film), Robin Hood: Men in Tights, BBC Robin Hood, Wishbone Robin Hood (that one totally counts!).

What is your favorite version of Robin Hood (can be book, movie, TV series, anything)?
     - That's hard! Of course I love the Disney movie, but there was a TV movie of Robin Hood that was made in 1991 and starred Patrick Bergin and Uma Thurman and it was wonderful!

Are you one of the lads? (Meaning, have you watched/are you a fan of the BBC show?)
     - Most definitely!!!

Who is your favorite Merry Man?
      - Probably Will Scarlett from the BBC series.

Do you have a favorite portrayal of Lady Marian?
     - Lucy Griffiths was wonderful as Lady Marian!

Do you have any interest in or aptitude at archery?
     - I have always had a general interest in archery.

Fact or fiction -- which do you think?
      - Fact that's been fictionalized over the years.

Do you think Robin Hood has been "done to death," or are there still new twists that can be found?
     - Robin Hood is like King Arthur. You can always find new ways to tell the story. Every generation has their own variation of Robin Hood and so it's really a legend that can never die.

BBC Robin Hood Week Tag

     Rachel at A Girl's Place is doing a BBC Robin Hood Week at her site that started on the 17th and ends on the 22nd! I'm kind of late in the game, but I really love this show and I can never say no to a tag : )

1. Who introduced you to the Robin Hood BBC series?
     - My mom. She loves anything BBC (like me) and she came across this show on NetFlix. After watching a couple of episodes, she thought my family would like and so we all watched it together. And like with BBC Merlin, we fell in love with it!

2. How do you react when there is someone else who just started seeing the series?
     - Oh! You'll love it --- (However, I'm secretly saying "Don't see Season 3)

3. Which season do you like the most?
     - Season 2

4. Did you wanted that the show could go on and on, or should it have ended just like it ended?
     - I think it could have had another season, but it seems like the writers were running out of material to work with. So, it was probably best to end it with three seasons.

5. Favourite character? (Okay, pick at least four, because there are much characters to choose)
     - So hard!! I love Will Scarlet, Djaq, Marian and Robin. The romances : )

6. Which character do you dislike the most?
     - Kate. She was just terrible.

7. On a scale of 1-10, how much of a fan do you consider yourself?
     - 10...10.5...11...

8. If you wanted to save someone of dying, who would it be?
     - Marian, of course!

9. Which character would you not want to play in the show?
     - Kate or Isabella

10. While watching the series, did you ever read any spoilers about the show?
     - I would see a couple on Pinterest, but spoilers never bother me.

11. What's your favourite quote from Robin Hood BBC?
     - "People of Nottingham!These men have committed no crime worth more than a spell in the stocks. Will you tolerate this injustice? I, for one, will not!"

12. At least, which couple do you like the most?
