Battle Of The Hood And Bismarck DVD

Advantages: Great acting, good plot
Disadvantages: None

...The third volume in this series advances the story and climaxes with a dilemna for both Marion, and in the final episode, one for Much. Robin battles with his love for Marian yet he knows that she is bound to be married to Guy of Gisborne since that is the only way she can prove her loyalty to the Sheriff. The BBC has done an excellent job with this retelling of the classic Robin Hood story. The effects used are good and the storyline is excellent. The reality of living in the Middle Ages seems to have been told much better than in many other stories about the outlaw. Something else that also comes over is about the crusades during the period - this forms a subplot and basis for many of the episodes. The characters are very well played - in particular, the Sheriff is not a pantomime character as he has been seen in previous stories... Read review

He then marrys Robin hood and Maid Marrion.... Read review
