Watched the BBC ruin Robin Hood on Saturday, it was the pits. They've dumbed down the jolly tale, sexed up the story and ruined the plot. It wasn't broken, why fix it? let's hope they don't decide to 'do' King Arthur, they'll have him living on benefits in a hostel in Wolverhampton - all filmed in Eastern Europe by the way. What's wrong with Burnham Beeches? or better still Nottingham Forest.
The casting, Robin looks like one of those boys who are big for their age who smoke, spit and swear outside the doors of the corner shop. Marion looked like Vikki Pollard in full slap AND Keith Allen (who I can never forgive for bringing us Lily Allen - is it just me or does she have Downs Syndrome?) was terrible.
If I were ITV I'd bring back their version quick smartish and show them how its done. Robin, Robin, the hooded man, da da da dum. Oooh it was great.
