Robin Hood

The contemporary retelling of this classic tale has it all – banter, swordfights, fair maidens and, of course, men in leotards. In the second season the Sheriff of Nottingham, much like Wile E Coyote, is making yet another destined-to-fail plan to kill the rascally Robin – medieval England’s mythical equivalent to the Road Runner. Seeking to polish his professional assassin CV, the Sheriff is also involved in hatching a plot to kill King Richard on his return from the Crusades. Maid Marian is in there somewhere as well, looking pretty. Settle down for some good-old fashioned intrigue, action and wit.
