Nicholas Grace plays the finest sheriff to ever grace our screens. Gisbuuuurne!!!!!
I'm belly laughing listening to you two. Great stuff!
If they don’t bring up the Mel brooks film, I’m gonna lose my shit
You forgot to mention Richard Greene, 'whoosh.... thunk...dooiing'.
You didn’t mention Robin Hood: Men in Tights! The greatest and most accurate of all Robin Hood films!!!
Also, the movie has the 1st mention of Jews in England
@@ManiSRao-bt3xw 😂😂😂 A Jew, in England???
Unlike some other Robin Hoods, Carey elwes can speak with a British accent
That movie was hilarious. Especially when Robin Hood said he was the only Robin Hood to speak with a British accent. 😂😂😂
I love the Time Bandits depiction of accurate violent merry men and the storybook version of Robin Hood
Great poem
My stepmother lives in Little Johns Cottage in Hathersage on the site of a house he lived in. He is buried in the local graveyard and there is a stone headstone that details his history there.
I know, I visit it all the time.
I think there needs to be a podcast dedicated to Alan Rickman.
He completely acted Kevin Costner off the stage.
@@robertdarby6553Of the stage, out of the theatre and ran him out of town. His greatest role in my opinion is in Galaxy Quest.
Well done gentlemen. Good episode.
In the 1200s, popularly thought to be the time of Robin Hood, Sherwood covered about 100,000 acres, which was a fifth of the entire county of Nottinghamshire. The main London to York road, the Great North Way, ran straight through Sherwood, and travellers were often at the mercy of robbers living outside of the law.
Really enjoyed the content. It says your channel is new, keep it up and yall will blow up in no time. I found yall when I ran out of dan carlins, the historcrat and other podcasters/podcast of the sorts.
At last!!!! Alan Rickman. Sorry, should have waited. Worth it
As a Spurs fan I am delighted to find that ‘Gazza’ has a connection to Robin Hood via Raoul Moat. Great episode.
Yeah. No mention of Alan Rickman!!! But the usual charming, delightful conversation. Thank you gentlemen
No mention of the Robin Hood movie with Basil Rathbone and Erryl Flynn? Or Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn?
Errol Flynn does get a mention.
"It's the injustice I hate, not the Normans."
Are there people who enjoy hearing a couple of people talking about their personal reasons for liking Robin Hood, their partial knowledge of Robin Hood, and making weak jokes, instead of learning about Robin Hood?
Yes, if they are Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook.
I really like this podcast but you do have a point...
surely just refers to a medieval robber who wears a hood.
Instantly became one of my favourite podcasts and quite the feat to be blasphemous and atheistic, in the same breath.
I thought the TV series Robin of Sherwood was pretty accurate as appearances went. Gisborne and the Sheriff of Nottingham were great characters too.
Robin Hood = "Robbing Hood"
What about Robin and the 7 Hoods?
I'm from Nottingham and we don't talk like that round here me duck.
Sob the story arc of Robyn le Hood is simple yeoman who is an outlaw because he's first and only truly loyal to an earthly virgin mother of god, and it ends with him bled out as an immortal by the murderous mouth of a vampire abbess?
Is that a longbow flexed to the round?
Lady books aside, King Richard was among the worst British monarchs ever. He spent little time in his Kingdom, preferring to Crusade. He allowed his young brother John to pillage the realm.
Berkshire!? Was he the former stockbroker who had to hide in the greenwood following some bouncing cheques.
