Yes, this was, indeed, a grand little production. The old Dickie Green certainly brought the character of Robin Hood to sparkling life with a dashing personality and a goodly dose of believability.

Australia's own Errol Flynn did a pretty good job as well. But there's something definite about the famous hero being portrayed by a "Proper Englishman" .

These shows were fun. They made history entertaining.

It's a shame that kids don't have this sort of educational fare to fire their imagination these days.

Period films and television series have frequently come in for a great deal of criticism over the years and much of the flack has been entirely justified.

However, some of the better productions which have graced both the big and small screens have presented tales of earlier times in a way that the printed word has often been unable to.
