Switch it off.
I've got past the use of the compound bow rather than the longbow. I've got past the SM gear worn by the baddie.
What I can't get past is the continued bowing down to political correctness. We have to have a coloured actor so let's make it a position of power and command to let people know how we respect those of non-white origin. Except that in the medieval period where religion had a controlling influence all the black people were of a heretical religion. They were fighting against Christ not for him. This distortion can only influence children on how they interpret history and not make it clear how far we have come from those days of bigotry and intolerance.
If anyone can give me a black man of power and note in England during the reign of Good King Richard please feel free to correct me.
Plus the latest episode has some of the worse continuity editing I've ever seen. For example Robin throws down his weapons and challenges Guy. Only the next time you see him his quiver is on his back and then later his bow and sword turn up with him.
But the worst was the eclipse. The moon eclipses the sun and causes the dramatic highlight for the episode. Except that when Robin appears with the sun behind him for his rousing speech, the moon is quite clearly seen in another quarter of the sky and then only half of it is there.
Enough is enough.

It sounds pretty awful. Go with the Errol Flynn gold standard, or Mel Brooks' Men In Tights if you need a good laugh!

I like a bit of mindless TV but I am afraid I gave up on this one after episode one of series one! I much prefer Primeval on ITV it has dinosaurs, Lucy Brown and is filmed in a lot of places I know (John Lewis in Kingston and Thorpe Park last year-and the Festival Hall and the British Museum on Saturday's episode).
I agree with Martin. "You have to be a man to wear tights!" ;)
But history is history, and I detest attempts to airbrush it.
