ROBIN HOOD

ABOUT THE FILM

The story of Robin Hook and his men is one of the world's favourite legends. Come to Sherwood Forest and meet Little John, Friar Tuck and Maid Marian. Enjoy their exciting adventures. Find out what happens to the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham!!!

SUMMARY

              There is an English legend about a man called Robin Hood. According to the legend, Robin Hood lived in the late 12th or early 13th century, at the time of King John. (People say that King John was the worst king that England ever had). Robin Hood lived as an outlaw in a wild place called Sherwood Forest. He and his gang of “Merry Men” robbed rich people and gave money to the poor. His greatest enemy was the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham.
We do not know how much truth there is in the legend. Robin Hood is a “folk hero”. He represents the resistance of ordinary people to tyranny and authority. The stories about him have remained popular for hundreds of years.
They are of course wonderful stories for films and television. They have heroes (“goodies”) and villains (“baddies”). And there is lots of action – riding through forests on horses, sword fights etc. The BBC is going to show a new TV series about Robin Hood later this year. Because there isn’t much wild forest left in England, the series has been filmed in Hungary. And a few weeks ago someone stole the tapes of the new series. There have been rumours that they have asked for £1million to return the tapes, and that they will give the money to charity. The BBC are saying nothing.
