Robin of Sherwood: Jason Connery – Blu Ray – Ray Winstone, Clive Mantle

A benchmark of quality television drama in the 1980s and arguably the definitive interpretation of the Robin Hood legend, this BAFTA-winning series is presented here for the first time in High Definition.Jason Connery stars as Robin Hood in Richard Carpenter’s influential and highly acclaimed re-working of the classic myth. Combining equal parts high drama, historical accuracy and atmospheric mysticism, Carpenter’s reboot pitched a band of not-so-Merry Men against a decidedly brutal and waspish Sheriff of Nottingham. With a haunting theme from Clannad, strong scripts and outstanding performances from Ray Winstone, Clive Mantle, Judi Trott and Nickolas Grace, to name a few, Robin of Sherwood was, and remains, a worldwide hit.With new HD transfers taken from the original film elements, the third and final series is presented here at a quality level never previously seen.
