lesbiassparrow | Robinnnnn, The Hooded Man

Based purely on fond childhood memories I have ordered Robin of Sherwood on DVD from Amazon UK. I have a feel that rewatching it will be a bit like rereading The Dark is Rising and realising that your memory plays horrible, horrible tricks on you. But still I couldn't resist - there were manly men running through the forest, gods with antlers, evil sheriffs, and lots of bows and arrows, and have I mentioned manly men running through forests? Michael Praed was my first tv boyfriend.

Going through Amazon I saw there was a Dick Turpin series which is also now out on DVD. If Sterling wasn't so absurdly high at the moment I would have bought it; highwaymen are like pirates, you cant really go wrong with them. They just have to get on their horses and gallop madly for me to be all amazed and impressed.

I have also given up on the new Doctor Who ever being shown on US tv so will end up buying it when the boxed set comes out. But why is it so bloody expensive? For 13 episodes $80 seems a bit high to me.

I *loved* this show as a kid. I've recently been looking for Region 1 DVDs of this. Since you got them from the UK, does that mean you ahve a multi-region player?

The UK DVDs are Region 0 (though they are finicky about DVD players. They work on my rather crappy GE DVD Player, but won't work on my newer Hitachi one).

Thank you. By the way, loved Danger Mouse as a child, too, so I really liked seeing your icon. DM was the coolest. I could imagine him being redone now with the voice of Patrick Stewart.

Oh, Dangermouse is the greatest :)

I wish they'd have it on DVD...

Not yet, but I plan on buying one because there are other things I want to get from the UK as they are obviously not going to be released here.
Circuit City sells a player that plays both Pal and NTSC for $50, so the prices are really dropping on these things.
