Quotes:
Marian: [hanging in the dungeon] Help! Help!
[gives up]
Marian: Well, this is it I suppose. Oooh, how embarrassing to be put to death when your mother's staying! Why couldn't someone save me? Anyone'd do! As long as he was good looking, and a bit, you know, sulky, with a couple of day's stubble and a pair of really tight-
Robin: [bursts through the door] Don't worry! I, Robin of Kensington, will save you!
Marian: Oh, Blimey, not *you*! I'd rather stay up *here*, thanks!
Robin: But you were shouting for help!
Marian: No I *wasn't* !

The finest children's TV show of its generation, 19 July 2005
Author: taylor_mayed from Norwich, England

This series worked on just about every level - "Blackadder for kids" is an expression often used to sum it up, but that does it a disservice, suggesting it's some kind of imitation of another show. This really was wonderful in its own right, though - entertaining stories and performances delicately laced with some delicious satire and gags you can't believe they got away with, i.e. Robin's "I've never laid anything in my life!" when trying to sneak into the castle under the guise of being a carpet fitter. It's a crying shame they never made more than they did, but at the same time at least it never became stale. DVD release soon, please!
