This is one of the best episode in the series..sound, music, darkness etc outstanding..I'm not belive even now with technology some one able to make better robin hood series than 1984 series..Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Still i feel wowwww. At that time we were very small kids....I never forgot this episode"the seven swords of weyland" we were scared the background music. The actors are super hero because we feel that much of robin hood series, there acting supberb 100%.......actually no one can be able to make a series of robinhood similer to 1986 RHS
glad this scene is being appreciated it left its mark on me. Stunning visuals with the redcloaks glowing and fluttering in a murky dawn light, the skeletal masks, and the slo mo galloping, along with what is quite a disturbing soundtrack all combine to make this stunning piece of film making!
RoS aired in my country around '85. I was 10y old then and watched its all seasons- and it really gave so much food for thought. And I keep returning for its music here in YT. :-)
Fantastic opener, Rob Young at his directorial best. The episode more than the rest has a filmatic quality and a genuine sense of eeriness, unsurpassed for a 120min tv episode. The music, the atmosphere is outstanding. I own one of the "hounds" helmets as well as one of the Swords of Wayland. Nothing's forgotten...
This series aired in Czechoslovakia in 1988-89 and I remember how me and my classmates, being 11 years old, debated the mystical aspects of these two episodes (and then the last one where Robin died) at school, ofc we knew nothing of the old Anglo-Saxon folklore so it must have sounded pretty funny.
This was me in early 90s Lagos, Nigeria when it had aired in a lot of our local tv stations (1990-1991), only one season was aired, but these two episodes were my favourite, mostly because it delved alot into Luciferianism, the occult, and felt fantastical, (and like you we also had no clue about Anglo saxon mythology), it also reminded me and my siblings of LOTR (we had recently watched the Bakshi cartoon in same tv channel).
@Ukka68 ¡You said it: it was spooky! This is one of the most scary and excited episodes of the series. I must say that it made me feel fear by night as you. ;D
The magical elements in RoS were generally done so they could be believable. it was a historical fantasy, not a complete fantasy so I don't think having actual demonic monsters ala Buffy, would have worked in this show. To a 12 century peasant, the deception would have been quite believable and scarey. They were a superstitious lot. I think this worked beautifully.The hounds still are dead eerie, reminiscent of Tolkien's Nazgul.
@blurfist Which actors then please? RoS influenced probably more than just period drama. It raised the bar in terms of production values, cinematography & screenwriting, the likes of which modern productions have never been able to suitably replicate. They just don't spend the time or money now on detail, mood or character depth. These first few minutes of intro is exquisite and draws you in to the story. I haven't seen another show that does that in quite the same way.
@blurfist Additionally, I am certain it was a bit of the reverse also. That the book, The Lord of the Rings, influenced how the Hounds of Lucifer evolved in design.
@MrsNorris55 The music is the original music.m This series is available on DVD because I have it! You can probs buy it on a site like amozen dot com, or maybe even in an actual store.
The paralell to Tolkin is more that in the Edda Odin give Wayland the order to forge a couple (I forget the number) of swords for the tribes. Albien ancient word for england. That remains tto the rings
Hi. Can you tell me anything about working on the show? Are you one of the Devil's Horsemen. I own one of the Hounds helmets from this episode. Please get in touch.
Yes, if only! Actually I don't hate the Dark Is Rising movie, but it was so dumbed down. Cooper must have just taken a load of cash. I'm afraid I'd been carte blanche on how they did it. It could have been so much darker.

This opening scene, with those horses riding in from the horizon... must be one of the most beautiful scenes from a tv series that i know of! Epic!
No one will ever improve on ROS, the casting/music/locations/sets it was simply MAGIC, nothing has come close since!
I agree... nothing is forgotten 😊
I remember how scared I was of the horses when I was a little kid :) and after all these years they still give me chills!
RoS is a masterpiece. Far ahead of time. Nothing's forgotten. Not in Germany. Not in 2019.
It can never be imitated or duplicated either. It was all an instant masterpiece
Warum nicht in Deutschland ? Hab ich in den 80ern im ZDF geguckt und hab ich seit ewigkeiten auf DVD
@@dirkdahlmann2490 anscheinend kennst du die Serie nicht.🤷🏻♂️🤣
@@thomaschulze Spinner
@@dirkdahlmann2490 vernünftiges Argument, das auf einen anständigen Charakter schließen lässt. Weiter so!👍

when this was broadcasted on UK television I was eight years old and I can say it totally fascinated me and spooked me in equal measure.

Absolutely mate. My favourite TV show ever. Hands down.

Zgadza sie,co za czasy,dziecinstwo w PRL cos wspanialego.Swietne dwa odcinki.
fan pozdrawia ciebie :) równiez uwielbiałem te dwa odcinki :)
i mean, this is like the best intro ever to anything.
agreed
Best ever. Little known... had to watch PBS back in the day.

The best episode of the whole series
Kurcze, jak ja sie tego bałem będąc mały... Jedna z najlepszych rzeczy jakie piuszczała TVP :D
witaj w gronie, ja to ogladalem codziennie.
Nothing is forgotten, Nothing is ever forgotten
These guys remind me of the Ringwraiths in Lord of the Rings.
Absolutnie najlepsza wersja Robin Hooda jaką widzialem!!!
greatest cinematography in the universe.

ta wersja była genialna. Mroczna, magiczna i realistyczna zarazem. Dziś w serialach średniowieczni wieśniacy wyglądają lepiej niż ja kurwa!
timeless.
Those two parts of Robin of Sharewood were excellent of all series
oriasssssssssssssssss we love Sir Horovitz and Sir Carpenter videos! big love!
daamn! what an opening!
and to think RoS was conceived as a series targeting mainly children and to be shown on afternoons/evenings on television....
I remember the 1st minute of this sequence was always so cool and dark.
I loved the pure darkness of the Wayland episodes.
Świetne!!!! klimat miażdży!!!!!!
Zgadzam się!!! Robin z Sherwood bije wszystkie!!!Nie ma lepszej wersji!!!
Robert Young - greatest television director ever!
Absolutely top top draw quality entertainment that's even valid today 🥰
Nie był też naiwny historycznie. Fascynował mnie. Świetnie dobrana muzyka... Przyczynił się do tego, że zostałem historykiem
Najlepszy serial jaki widzialem.Muzyka jeszcze lepsza.
THE BEST series ever madeZ.
Preety cute movie!
GreetingZ 4 ALL FanZ!
POLAND love Robin of Sherwood
Właśnie kupiłem DVD, zgadzam się w 100% z Wami. Kultowy serial. Muzyka też za mną chodzi..;)
nothings forgotten :)
nothing is ever forgotten.
Scary as fck 😱
It's pure nightmare fuel I love it
It would be great to see both parts of "Seven swords of Wayland"
nie wiem czy kiedykolwiek powstanie cos z lepszym klimatem
Najlepszy Robin Hood który oglądałem
Aggh, my childhood nightmares return! Otherworldly and so spooky in slow mo!
ORIASSSSSSSS!
@Ukka68 ¡You said it: it was spooky! This is one of the most scary and excited episodes of the series.
I must say that it made me feel fear by night as you. ;D
Get the BluRay, it looks fantastic!

It was a TV series that played like a feature film.

This sequence freak me out.
I was afraid to watch these horsemen when I was a kid.

Ciekawe czy któraś z telewizji w końcu powtórzy ten serial?
True Black Metal !!!!!
@MrsNorris55 The music is the original music.m This series is available on DVD because I have it! You can probs buy it on a site like amozen dot com, or maybe even in an actual store.
@sonofherne absolutely spot on ! totally agree
@kat19771 zaden inny "Robin Hood" nie mial takiej muzyki!
Popieram calkowicie! Wszystkie inne wersje Robin Hooda sie chowaja! Nie maja ani takiej muzyki ani "klimatu"...
😍😍😍😍😍
The paralell to Tolkin is more that in the Edda Odin give Wayland the order to forge a couple (I forget the number) of swords for the tribes.
Albien ancient word for england.
That remains tto the rings
Quite fascinating! How did you manage to get them, and are there any photographs of those available? They looked amazing in the show.
yeah when i was litle i saw this episode and i had nightmares later on
Pretty sure LOTR's director was influenced by this series. Also Braveheart was influenced by this series. Some of the same actors are in braveheart.
Wild Hunt...
Hi. Can you tell me anything about working on the show? Are you one of the Devil's Horsemen. I own one of the Hounds helmets from this episode. Please get in touch.
If you can go to hulu.com. You can watch the whole series there.
🖤🖤
Wild Hunt
Absolutnie znakomity serial.
Always creepy, but I still love the outfit...
where can i buy an albion replica from the R o S tv series? can anyone please tell me?
znakomity klimat!!!
Yes, if only! Actually I don't hate the Dark Is Rising movie, but it was so dumbed down. Cooper must have just taken a load of cash. I'm afraid I'd been carte blanche on how they did it. It could have been so much darker.
Pekelné psi yesss!!!
a potem myku myk w "Diablo" - tia to były czasy :)
tak i już wiem skąd peter jackson wizął pomysł na przedstawienie nazguli
Hi. Can you get in touch re. RoS. Love to talk to you about your time on the show. Cheers.
Robin również WEMNIE....(9:23).
@MrsNorris55 And Blue Ray as of now.
ALBION!
hmmm this was an awesome tv show but someone had just re-read lord of the rings hadn't they,
Lord of the Rings is a story for babies. This is the real deal.
