Sir Tony Robinson has said that he is "proud" of his classic children's TV series Maid Marian and Her Merry Men, which marks its 25th anniversary this year.
The Blackadder actor created and starred in the BBC comedy, which ran for four series from 1989 to 1994.
"That was the first series that I had artistic control over," he told Digital Spy. "It was just me and my friend David Bell, who was the director, and we made all the decisions.
"You just wouldn't be able to make a series in that way for British television now, there would be too many commissioning editors leaning over your back."
He continued: "We were given a remarkably good budget and were totally allowed to see our vision through. I'm really glad that I was able to do that, and I'm still very proud of it."
