Storyline

The Sheriff is ordered by The King to collect grain from the villages of Nottingham, as more provisions are needed for the troops in France. Knowing that the villagers will not survive the winter without their hard-earned grain, the outlaws secretly steal the grain back during the night, causing The Sheriff a lot of embarrassment when the King's men come to collect it in the morning. In desperation, The Sheriff blames the whole fiasco on Gisburne, resulting in Gisburne running away and a price being put on his head. Seeking sanctuary, Gisburne flees to Grimstone Abbey, but is not greeted by monks at the door...

Trivia

The series was not meant to end with "Time of the Wolf" episodes. Another season, in which Marian was supposed to leave the monastery and finally marry Robin, was planned. However, due to short funds and some crew conflicts, the new episodes never went into production.

Quotes

Robert de Rainault: He's foul-mouthed, has considerable power, and rather like you, Gisburne, has absolutely no sense of humour. William Brewer's not a man to cross. I suppose that's why the king's appointed him. This grain business is probably his idea.
Sir Guy of Gisburne: Well, it's ready for him.
Robert de Rainault: And so am I, Gisburne, so am I. I only hope it's enough to satisfy him.
[shivers]
Robert de Rainault: God's teeth, it's cold! I wish the wretched man would hurry.
