Things keep occurring to me about Robin Hood, I shall bullet point them:

• Was v disappointed at lack of "Much" jokes. I demand at least a "Jealous, Much?" before the end of the series.
• Am wondering if elevation of Much from manservant to live-in chum is a Blackadder reference.
• This iteration has Robin as successfully reclaiming his title, then effectively giving it up in the name of right. Not sure whether other versions had that element of choice - seem to recall most of them being that he is in some way swindled or cheated out of rightful title and lands. Am not sure which is more noble.
• Most sympathetic character in ep #1 was possibly the guard who had Robin at arrowpoint and hesitated. Could be read as clumsy scripting, but in my mind he was, for that moment, questioning his orders, reluctant to open fire on a clearly good man. Glance to Sherrif for confirmation lends credence to this. May start fansite for this guard.

That is all, now back to work.

That's certainly possible. I saw it as an attempt to punish Robin for daring to show up and throw his weight around, and ensure it wouldn't happen again. It's possible I was on the phone when he revealed his master plan.

I suppose it depends on whether the Sherrif is a master planner or a tuna sandwich.

I suspect that despite clumsy attempts otherwise, you would have this Sherrif with mayonnaise.

He's not really my type ... oh, oh wait, I see what you've done there, yes.
