The Sheriff of Nottingham
Prismark103 December 2020
Before series 3 aired. The press leaked that Lewis Collins was going to be the new Sheriff of Nottingham and shock horror he was going to be rather camp.

More camp than Nickolas Grace!

In this episode. Philip Mark who has earned a reputation for himself after clearing up bandits in Lincoln, arrives as the new Sheriff accompanied by his deadly Saracen Sarak.

The old Sheriff is banished after he calls Philip Mark a catamite. Guy of Gisburne gets to stay as the Sheriff is looking for a new plaything.

The new Sheriff orders the rounding up of some villagers of Wickham everyday and have them executed. Robin and the Merries are forced to attempt a rescue. They have an unlikely ally with the deposed Sheriff.

Meanwhile Sarak has a score to settle with Nasir. They are bound together by their past history.

The episode is written by Anthony Horowitz and he shakes things up a bit. However he does not quiet have the handle on Guy of Gisburne yet. He is a bit intelligent here calling the old Sheriff and Robin Hood as two sides of the same coin. The new Sheriff just wants to manhandle Guy.

The homoeroticsm is dialled up in this episode. Nasir and Sarak have a sword fight with their upper bodies oiled up. Mark Ryan has to hold his stomach in as he has put on a few pounds. As for the new Sheriff, he tells Guy that he wants to examine his tunnel.

Lewis Collins seemed to be having great fun and it is a shame that he never got more roles on British television as a guest star.
