This is one of the most fine Robin Hood series ever made!! After almost 40th years I never had watch another version on movies or tv series than can be equal to it!
I have been a pagan my entire life, have studied the Old Ways, and this was the nearest I have ever seen to our beliefs portrayed onscreen. There is a Right handed path and a Left Handed path, which are curiously Opposite in Politics. There is no Good/Evil and you don't need some bloke stumbling about on a mountain with stones to tell you how to behave. You know instinctively. I don't need some 'God' telling me that if I shoot you I did a Bad thing, if I find you ill and nurse you back to health I was Good. It's a given. Governments exploiting you is Bad, which is what Robin was fighting against. Rich against poor.

I've got a fantastic old book of Robin Hood. I'm reading it to a six year old Chinese boy..and its almost uncanny the effect it's having on him. He isnt only an outlaw, Robin, he IS a mystical character...a master of disguise in a way that's magical.."Robin carries many faces under one hood" as it says...
And rare for an actor he could ACT noble ... honour could be portrayed on his face ..and he could portray love without lust without seeming cheesy..rare acting style ..he wasnt just handsome ..he was inspiring .. and you could feel or sense his honour in the character .. that was important. Yet he was real and grounded. Gentle noble and earthy. And yes very beautiful. Ethereal even... it was a love story on a spiritual level ... not lusty at all.
@@EngTech84 hard to belive it was only around from 1984 to 1986.btw the theme tune and soundtrack were performed by a trad IRISH band from Donegal in North West IRELAND called "Clannad" which means Family... They were all brothers and sisters, hence the bands name.
@@Kickback-dm7zt3 siblings and 2 Uncles actually. The 'uncles' were actually younger than the singer. But that is how it happens in large families.

Silly me!
Watched this as a 12 year old when it was first broadcast at tea time on a Saturday. It left a lasting impression that's for sure. Especially series 2 which had some dark material for an early Saturday evening.
Yeah - it was(and still is) an amazing fantasy drama. I was always puzzled by the fact that it never got a repeat on ITV(only in the 2000s on ITV3), and of course Sky One showed it a couple of times. It was a big ratings hit - even competing against Doctor Who on Saturday night. Sadly - the production company(Goldcrest) ran into financial trouble, and that is why it finished after the third series(there was a rough outline for another series). It is in my opinion, the best dramatic telling of the Robin Hood myth ever put to screen. Notice how the 1991 Kevin Costner Robin hood film made use of a sarcen(much like Nasir in this series).
We have lost so much as a species. The disconnect from nature. This is why this show was so appealing on a deep level and why it made a lasting impression.
I hail from Nottinghamshire and I am going back to Nottingham tomorrow, I may even visit sherwood forest..its still there . I love this mystical representation it is the best representation of Robin and his myths than any American hocum. This is a wonderful video thankyou it makes my pagan soul sing
Even as a child in Nigeria watching this series growing up I couldn't help but wonder why the Soundtrack of Robin of Sherwood was so mythical and magical!! It always made the series so wholesome and epic while watching an episode. This would remain one of the best series ever created.
A wonderful magical series never to be forgotten elevated to a level above all others by Clannad's astounding theme music still as powerful today as ever.
I hear it and it gives me chills... This music, this "religion" has had and is having a bigger impact on me than I ever thought. I never stopped living like this without knowing it was because of this show... really. And I'm not ashamed of it.
@@kylehorner8782 Give some proof for that Not every figure with horns is cernunnos. There's far more of a chance that herne was an anglo saxon figure more than he was a brittonic one
@@Locksley108 Herne the Hunter is a character from the 1602 Shakespearean play The Merry Wives of Windsor. He is a ghost who haunts Windsor woods in Berkshire. Because of the many similarities between the Celtic deity Cernunnos, also known as the Green Man, scholars believe that William Shakespeare used the Green Man as his inspiration for the spooky Herne the Hunter. Robin Hood is five centuries before Shakespeare so that is that!
This show was way ahead of its time with clannad soundtrack .. I love it since I was a child.. I still do.. If they made a version of it now it now with clannad soundtrack.. It wud be a blockbuster
I credit this amazing show with my awakening to pagan spirituality...it took me a long time to fully embrace it but all credit to Robin the hooded man. Wish there were more shows like this now
I can vouch that no country other than Sri Lanka has more fans fell in love with this TV series. We are absolutely gone crazy since the 80s and still love it
In the 80s as a kid this had the impact of mystical dimensions that weren't in much else. Moya Brennan and Clannad are on another level, it won a BAFTA for Best Original Television Music.
After reading Richard carpenters book robin fact or fiction five times this series was fantastic for millions ,and clannads music fantastic ,that made this series thank you Richard
Amazing series that had superb stories and it has never been bettered and will forever been the best version of Robin Hood the music by clannad was excellent
This is the most haunting and deeply mystical film adaptation of Robin Hood. It has much more depth and soul than most other film adaptations of Robin Hood. I love the mythical nature of a Herne the Hunter. It speaks to my soul. Plus the music from Clannad, perfect. The last time I saw the series was when I was a teenager :-) Now I see the wonderful series with completely new eyes
Really breathtakingly well put together. I've loved this series since first seeing it in childhood in the 80s and then later from DVD. It's the only Robin Hood series for me. And John Abineri as Herne... wow. Richard Carpenter, Clannad, all the actors... Thank you for making this.
Herne isn't scary. He is part of the essence of Nature. He is the bringer of new growth after Winter. He is a balance. Between Life and Death, feast and famine; the turning cycle of the year. Justice and Injustice. The Green Man. Which is why he is used here. he is the representative of the poor ,the oppressed, the hungry. the respecters of the planet The elite don't like that. Which is why we have Christianity! Which serves the rich, the well fed and the oppressors! The people who kill animals for fun
I think you've done a wonderful job with this vid, David! The picture quality and editing are excellent. This vid not only does justice to Clannad's song, but it shows the very best of Herne.
Ironically made during "the Troubles" it somehow fused the best of both islands together, the music is as much a character as Herne, Robin etc, a wonderful respect for Nature and the English people look so natural, exactly how you expect them to look.
@MacTire the son of Lir That's true and also if you listen, you'll hear a LOT of northern English accents. Manchester accent is the main one and it's not out of place at all with the celtic motifs.
Thursday, after the evening news, on ZBC-TV. I was around 8 or 9 the first time it showed. Robin of Sherwood sparked my interest in the England of that period, before I ever imagined myself living in England.
damn haven't seen this in 30 years, childhood memories creep in. This and William Tel's "The Crossbow" did it for me. and in second place Space 1999 but that was before my time.
Deberían aquí en Colombia las programadoras repetir esa serie de Robin Hood de los 80 yo era uno de los q no me la perdía me acuerdo tanto q la daban los miércoles me gustaba mucho esa película q muchas otras q daban en los años 80 en verdad deberían volverla dar o presentar
Gran video. Hermes el cazador. Hermes era Dios protector de los ladrones y de los bosques, segun los griegos , creo. Gran acierto al incluirlo en la serie. Un dios? Un druida? Un hombre? .Cuantas cosas maravillosas tiene esta serie
deberían de volver a lanzar un remake de esta historia fiel a la serie original , eso seria fantástico, aqui en latinoamerica vimos las serie en los años 80s es inolvidable

Everyone should listen to Herne, the world would be better for all 👍
So must it be!
@@escapetheratracenow9883 Yes
Been better than the bullshitters who are self professed “leaders” nowadays
@@stuartcumings8026 yes indeed young Stuart 👏

This is one big reason why this version of Robin Hood resonated so strongly with me; it brings in mystical aspects that no other ever did.

Yes, exactly why I liked it.
I loved that series, especially with Michael Praed as Robin. The scenes with Herne the Hunter are among my favourites.
Praed was a beautiful young man

Wonderful and magical, true version of Robin Hood legend, one and the best. This show cannot be forgotten. Nothing is forgotten.
Definitely, I adored it and I live just over a mile from Sherwood Forest.
Nothing is ever forgotten.
Muy cierto,en mi país Colombia nos reuníamos con los vecinos para ver esa serie, tengo 43 años y siempre recordada las escenas donde aparece Herne
Hard to believe such a high quality show was primetime TV back in the day. Replaced by reality TV for the nitwits out in zombie land.😐

I visit Nottingham a few times a year to see Nottingham Forest play. I like the city.
The joy of my childhood,loved it and still do.Clannad just puts the icing on the cake.
mine too,80s kids
For me , as a child the first smell of the magic in Nature, ive ever seen on TV..👍
"Fantastic" Series in every way.
R.I.P John Abineri (1928-2000) Not forgotten. Wonderful actor.
Even as a child in Nigeria watching this series growing up I couldn't help but wonder why the Soundtrack of Robin of Sherwood was so mythical and magical!! It always made the series so wholesome and epic while watching an episode. This would remain one of the best series ever created.
And yet, here in the US in '24, I'd never heard of it. I will certainly do my homework, and begin my binge.
I was glued to this movie back in Nigeria 😂😂. Epic till date. Everything in the movie resonates
A wonderful magical series never to be forgotten elevated to a level above all others by Clannad's astounding theme music still as powerful today as ever.
The best version of the story /character EVER.
The soundtrack is just perfect...

It's a tv show. But whatever you are getting from it is You. listen to it. we need all the liestening we can get right now.
Akira, you seem to have a mystical connection with this show and the invisible spirit behind it.
Best Clannad album for the best tv series I’ve ever enjoyed. So much magic
All Hail Herne the Hunter, Lord of the forest!
Yeah, Herne is a character from the Celtic Mythology 👍🏻
@@luisfernandolopezromero8066 No he isn't. Herne is first recorded in a play by shakespeare and has nothing to do with the celts or celtic mythology.

You lie!! Nigeria had a cult like followers for these series.
So good, Human but also something just alien enough to be a little fearful of.
Great edit. Nothing is forgotten. Nothing's ever forgotten.
Yes herne and the beautiful haunting music that is hernes theme was the reason I absolutely love this version the mystical aspect of it wonderful
My favorite tv serial of my childhood!!!)))
Nice one, the hooded man is coming.
We need this now on TV. 🌱🌳
Beautifully done. I discovered RoS in 2011 and been a fan ever since. I have the full set, the Legend soundtrack, and a 3 cd soundtrack.

80ties vibe at top level! very much thamks to Clannad!
I thought Hern was Valentin Dyle for moment 😂
I loved this as a kid. Definitely fosterd a love of the dark age history of my land
So beautifully shot
Close to where I live there is a place in the woods that allways makes me think of Herne. As a child, I always found him a bit scary. :-)

40 years since this first aired, and its still the best version of Robin Hood.

Nothing we make good or evil until we use it... Power is blind 💐
The biggest character in the whole series was nature, the forest itself, Herne represents that and the music does too. This show is just perfect
Should give oscar to this tv series
Anyone who wants to start a cult shout watch this masterclass of cult leadership from Herne The Hunter, Lord of the Trees!!!
