"Richard Kip Carpenter, the writer, wanted our outlaws to be young. I’d once directed Michael Praed and had cast Ray Winstone in Scum. So Michael played Robin and Ray was his brotherly companion Will Scarlet."
"A deal between HTV and Goldcrest got us a decent budget. We made it using 16mm film and it looked great. Our production designer, John Biggs, knew that if you built a Saxon village on one side of a farmer's field, you could just move it to the other side to make a new village for a different episode."
"Mark Ryan was only supposed to be in one story, as Nasir the Saracen, but got on so well with the boys that our producer, Paul Knight, said: Why don’t we get him to join the Merries?"
"Nickolas Grace, our wonderful Sheriff of Nottingham, also congratulated Alan Rickman for impersonating him so well. Watch the opening credits of Robin of Sherwood."
