As a bit of light relief, here's an idea for a BCC TV show:
Robin Hood: Prince of Chauvinists
Revisionist historical drama featuring various members of the England rugby team in some of the key roles.
Episode One: Robin tries to win back the favour of angry villagers after saving a group of gipsies from Sir Guy’s henchmen, meanwhile, his aunt Agnes falls foul of the Sheriff for trying to form a union among a group of Nottingham faggot carriers.
Robin Hood: Johnny Wilkinson
Robin’s Aunt: Germaine Greer
Will Scarlet: Ray Winstone
The Sheriff of Nottingham: Lawrence Dallaglio
Maid Marion: Justine Waddell (reliable period drama standby called in following unresolvable pay dispute with Kate Beckinsale)
Sir Guy of Gisbourne: Josh Lewsey
King John: Mike Catt
Vaguely middle eastern looking Saracen: Jason Robinson
Director: Lucy Upper
Producer: Quentin Redbrick
Music by Enya and Massive Attack
Warning: contains anachronistic language (such as excessive use of the phrase “innit” by Winstone) and historically improbable themes of a multi-cultural nature.
