Robin Hood Moves with the Times

Sadly I think it might only be us Brits who are honoured with this one; but I'm not the only one who's a little bit excited. Taking the spot that "Doctor Who" took on the Saturday night television schedule, Robin Hood's latest incarnation is hoping to be big down our way.

Anyway, this is what people are saying:
The show, which has been filmed in high definition, is full of the expected swordsmanship, archery, fast-paced action, goodies and baddies - but the story has uncanny parallels with the war on terror and modern politics. In the opening episode, nobleman Robin returns from a war in the Middle East to find Nottinghamshire controlled by an unpopular leader where taxes are heavy and a climate of fear reigns.
"In one episode I say 'we can hold and execute outlaws without trial', which is not far removed from what's happening now," says one of the actors.
