ROBIN HOOD SERIES 1

Jonas Armstrong appears on BBC Entertainment as Robin Hood.

Robin of Locksley returns home from defending King and country in the Holy Land to find a corrupt and changed Nottingham. The ruthless Sheriff of Nottingham is now in charge, crippling the poor with greedy taxes and severely punishing them for stealing even a loaf of bread.

The ever-gallant Robin and his faithful, if slightly unenthusiastic, manservant Much are determined to fight for the good of these hapless people. Aided by a gang of talented outlaws including Will Scarlett, the ingenious engineer who can construct anything from any material just as long as its wood; Little John, the man mountain who can destroy all in his path; and, as the series progresses, Jack, master of trickery and disguise – so much so that at first you don’t realise she is in fact a woman. As each episode unites the gang against the Sheriff and his dastardly deeds, will they succeed in thwarting injustice to relieve the poverty and hunger of the good people of Locksley?

Robin Hood will be screened on BBC Entertainment on DStv from April 26 at 18h40.
