The 60's Robin Hood series with Richard Greene was terrific - Saturday teatime - I've got the darn theme tune still stuck in my head - I remember the words of the first verse and just dum de dum the rest - here we go -

Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood with his band of men,
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood
forgotten the rest

how sad can I get?
Strangely, Sherwood Forest is now on my doorstep, beautiful place, very atmospheric and the Major Oak - wonderful. Nottingham Castle however, is always a disappointment to Robin Hood tourists as it is relatively recent, not medieval atall. There is an ancient pub just below the castle, The Trip to Jerusalem, which allegedly dates back to Crusader times.
