The Maid Marian and Her Merry Men DVD arrived yesterday. The series from the late 80’s/early 90’s will be fondly remembered by anyone aged 18-30 who watched it when it was originally aired. Along with Round the Twist, Maid Marian is quite arguably the best kids TV show ever.
The DVD is very well presented; it would have been so easy for the BBC just to stick the episodes on a disc in a flimsy box with no extras and VHS quality video & audio. This is not the case, the DVD is very well packaged, the soundtrack and picture remastered and a good selection of extras, including commentary from Tony Robinson on episode 1, it’s just a shame all six episodes didn’t have this feature.
As for entertainment, the show is just as funny as I remembered it, there are also a few adult jokes and references which, as a seven year old you would not get watching back in 1989.
All in all a top DVD, Series 2 is scheduled for a summer 2006 release, something to look forward to.
For more “Marian Memories”, or if you are too tight to buy the DVD, take a look at this website, full of sound clips, screen captures and facts on the cult TV show.
No trackbacks yet.

Channel Four recently showed a documentary on people who go dogging. I only realised it had been on, when I noticed social media had gone into meltdown over the programme's content and the individuals who took part in it.
Being the inquisitive type, I downloaded the documentary - which had been given the rather witty name,... - Uproar In A Bed
I'm a little late to the party with this blog post, considering it is about a bit of telly from last week.
The TV show I am referring to is Four in a Bed. If you have never seen this programme before, you are missing out.
The gist of it involves four sets of bed and breakfast... - Eva Braun’s Boys
With all these British comedies being withdrawn from television schedules and streaming services, due to historical instances of racism, I am hoping that the BBC will shortly be removing Mrs. Brown's Boys.
As far as I am aware, the series has never been accused of being racially offensive. I just want it gone because it's shit.

I am sure that everyone knows the legend of Robin Hood - whether it be Prince of Thieves, the Walt Disney adaptation, or Men in Tights.
It therefore needs no introduction to the fact that he is said to have taken from the rich to give to the poor.
