Nice to have a genuine series that engages the viewer with old tales but with no swearing but a simple story of noble men who respected themselves,their friends and treated women well.

There has long been debate on the truth of the legend of Robin Hood. But those of us around in the early days of independant television know the answer. There really was a Robin Hood. And he went under the pseudonym of Richard Greene. But this fourth series does have it's two disappointments, apart from the obvious one of being the last. It only has 26 episodes, compared with the 39 of each of it's predecessors. And the Sheriff of Nottingham, in the redoubtable form of Alan Wheatley is missing. Although his replacement, John Arnatt, as the Deputy Sheriff does a sterling job. The stories themselves carry on in the same vein as the earlier series (the Normans complicating the lives of Robin and his merry men in Sherwood Forest), with the occasional appearance, in common with many series from this era, of actors who were to find later fame, such as Leslie Phillips and Harry H.Corbett. Paul Eddington appeared in the earlier series in many different roles, but by series four he had found his vocation, settling down in the role of Will Scarlett. But I think the real attraction of shows such as these is the perception of the triumph of good over evil. And even though historically we know that King John is the ultimate victor, for a time at least, we can suspend that knowledge, and live in a world where the wrongdoer gets his just deserts.Read full review
