Robin Hood Blog accidentally deleted.

 Dear All,


I regret to say all the posts on the main Robin Hood Blog were accidentally deleted. 

Because they were deleted separately from the blog I am afraid they cannot be restored,

I am sorry for this loss. I had put a lot of work into it over the years.

The 2 remaining Robin Hood blogs are in the sidebar links.

Patricia Driscoll reprises her Marian role in Into the Labyrinth (1980)

Patricia Driscoll reprised her role as Maid Marian in the 1980 / 82 children’s TV series “Into the Labyrinth”. Essentially a story about three children travelling through time in search for an object of “limitless power”, one of the episodes sees them encounter an aged Robin of Loxley (Tony Wright), his wife Marian (Patricia Driscoll), and the Sheriff of Nottingham (Conrad Phillips). Driscoll was the most successful TV Maid Marian ever for her part in the long running 1950’s "Adventures of Robin Hood" (see this link), and 1980’s audiences would have instantly recognised her. Indeed, the only reason for this brief post is the long lasting affection in which she is held amongst many Robin Hood fans.

Death of Marian, (Lucy Griffiths), Robin Hood Series 2.

Above: Robin Hood, series 2. Marian (Lucy Griffiths), will eventually attempt to taunt and tame the beast Gisborne (Richard Armitage) one time too many. Below: The death of Marian.
Above: Gisborne rides off on the back of the Sheriff's horse in a scene which unmistakably mirrors that of Marian on the back of Robin Hood's horse at the end of Series 1. Below: As Marian observes, even the remarkable Djaq (Anjali Jay) can't save her this time.

Marian withdraws the blade, knowing it will mean the end.
