A blurb from Acorn Media about “Robin Of Sherwood-Set 2”- Connoisseurs of the Robin Hood legend call this action-packed British series the standard by which all other adaptations are measured.
This set covers Robin Of Sherwood’s third season and final 13 episodes with Jason Connery as the new leader of the merry group taking over from Michael Praed since he went on to be in the Dynasty TV series. The whole shape of the show changed somewhat when Connery took over and ran rather well to the end of the series. The season kept the mysticism and authentic feel of the time as the first two seasons. The episodes have been digitally remastered. Like the first set, the 13 episodes are on four discs with the 5th a bonus disc, chalked full of extras. There are commentaries for 9 of the episodes with 2 documentaries and behind the scenes footage and outtakes with much more.
