Goofs
Gunpowder is referred to as Greek Fire, and Djaq complains about name, claiming it as a Muslim invention. However, this is wrong on three levels. First, it would be another fifty years or so before gunpowder was known in Europe. Second, Greek Fire and gunpowder are wholly separate: gunpowder is a charcoal, sulphur and saltpetre-based explosive powder; Greek Fire is the petroleum-based liquid fuel for a type of medieval flamethrower. Finally, Greek Fire was indeed an invention of the Byzantine Greeks; gunpowder was a Chinese invention exported to the Islamic world.

Explosions in Robin Hood? Explosions in Robin Hood? They had like a fallout shelter and explosion testing zone - this is the Middle Ages, not the Gulf War! I'm sorry, but this episode didn't make sense - mostly in that area. The bit at the end in which the entire cave exploded and knocked Guy of Gisborne down was very neat but just didn't make sense, and really was just pointless and a bit of a waste of money, as well as being just plain stupid. No real significant change in the series' progress and another forgettable new character make this nowhere near as good as "Tattoo? What Tattoo?", but it was gripping in parts and the explosions were pretty neat. But who associates Robin Hood with explosions? I don't, that's for sure - but this series has changed Robin Hood's history for its own good. 6/10
