Robin of Sherwood
TV Show • 1984
ReportRobin of Sherwood, was a British television series, based on the legend of Robin Hood. Created by Richard Carpenter, it was produced by HTV in association with Goldcrest, and ran from 1984 to 1986 on the ITV network. In America it was retitled Robin Hood and shown on the premium cable TV channel Showtime and on PBS. The show starred Michael Praed and Jason Connery as two different incarnations of the title character. Unlike previous adaptations of the Robin Hood legend, Robin of Sherwood combined a gritty, authentic production design with elements of real-life history, 20th century fiction, and pagan myth. The series is also notable for its haunting title music by Clannad, which won a BAFTA award.

Implied and offscreen, but Prince John travels with a collection of young women, and they all look scared of him. Near the end of season 2, the Sheriff teams up with piratey types and when they raid villages, it's even more heavily implied.

no. however one character fakes being injured and as part of looking beat up has some fake facial bruising. They later spit out a wad of something white. it's not a tooth, but is realistic enough to fool a quick inspection by a guard.

While they're in the tunnel Tuck complains if it gets any smaller, he'll get stuck. Little John also bonks his head in same tunnel, so this is more "big guys, small space" than fat.

UNCLEAR. There's a brief reference that the queen might be too closely related to the king for the marriage to be "legal" but is presented in such a way as to indicate this might be a lie. They are definitely not immediate blood relatives.
