Robin Hood: Bold Outlaw of Barnsdale and Sherwood, dedicated to the Robin Hood legend from #medieval ballads to modern #RobinHood pop culture. By Allen W. Wright. https://www.boldoutlaw.com/ (An expat, but still proudly Canadian)
I think graphic novels have more vital hands, so this should be less of an issue. But I know what you mean. I put my address as to where I knew I’d be living in late 2023. And now 3 years later, we’re thinking about moving to a house. Hope it turns up before then.
I just backed SIR SHERLOCK - The Red Letter Day on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/152...
70s sci-fi Robin Hood or early 80s whatever sci-fi outfits?
Oh, and I wrote the post, so I’m calling myself out there.
It looks like #Blakes7 is coming back. Maybe once @boldoutlaw.bsky.social concludes a certain personal matter hopefully in February, we can get the show back cc @huestone44.bsky.social www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/bl...

Paul Darrow (Avon in #Blakes7) isn’t the only British sci-fi icon to turn up in 1975’s The Legend of Robin Hood. www.boldoutlaw.com/robspot/lege... #RobinHood
I am also tired of it, and doubt this is the best time for such a take. Also, one of the other gritty Robin Hoods was made by a lot of very talented people and it wasn’t very good.
Typo!

I always wanted someone to film Jacqueline Pearce eating popcorn and looking at a screen laughing and splice in the final scenes
Happy for Servalan at least.
Some outlaws don’t get a happy ending although one of them does smile at the end.

Our phone was avocado green, but pretty much grew up with this kind of model.
Sure, but Laura Holt was even better as Remington Steele.
Did they give Blake new CGI flying abilities for the BluRay?

Robin Hood’s death date 24 Kalends, 1247 is a phony Roman style date that’s impossible. But if you really kept counting back from the kalends, that would be Nov. 8, 1247 boldoutlaw.com/rhbal/bal120b.… Happy Death Day, #RobinHood. #medieval #OTD
