Filmed on location in woods outside Bristol, where all the trees still sported leafs of the period, as opposed to Fir trees brought to England in the nineteenth century.

The two different Robins in this series accurately reflect the two different (and otherwise irreconcilable) Robins that appear in the original legends: the lowborn woodsman (Robin of Loxley) and the outlawed nobleman (Robert of Huntington). By having one be the successor to the other, the series cleverly manages to incorporate all the traditional but contradictory traits attributed to Robin Hood.

Television standards decreed that people could only be hit by arrows in the back or in the front, never in the face. A shot in the thigh was a margin. Likewise, only side swiping was allowed during sword fights, never a full on thrust.

Robin of Loxley: Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten.
