DaveN 1,118 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I don't know about others who may have watched the programme but I was disappointed with it. Sorry to others that did as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I've watched it this morning and thought it was quite good. Nothing much new in it but I'm sure lots of people who don't know much about Robin Hood country will find it interesting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Robin Hood is a myth. Just like Santa Clause. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,285 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Many Pubs around the area I was brought up in associated with Robin Hood and his Merry Men Robin Hood Hotel Rainworth, sadly now a Tesco Express Little John Inn Ravenshead (Fishpool), still a pub The Jolly Friar Blidworth, Demolished now housing The Archer Rainworth, still a pub Forest Folk Hotel Blidworth, Demolished now a Tesco Express The Sherwood Rainworth, still a pub The Sherwood Ranger Ravenshead, still a pub The Robin Hood Edwinstowe, still a pub The Bold Forester Mansfield, still a pub Probably many others that I have forgotten Strangely enough in and around Adelaide we have two pubs called The Robin Hood. One in Norwood in the city suburbs since 1851 and one in a historic country town called Strathalbyn. As far as I knew Robin never ventured downunder so the were probably named by someone from Notts who was homesick 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Watched it this evening, but it told us nothing new. Not as comprehensive a dig as those undertaken by the gang in Dr Alice Roberts series of programmes entitled Digging for Britain. Brilliant in depth investigations.
