Maid Marian And Her Merry Men sees a largely effeminate Robin led by the ever-wise and skillful Marian in revolt against the Sheriff of Nottingham, himself under constant order from the heartless King John.

Our Review: Arguably the best childrens' sitcom ever produced for British television. Witty, inventive, clever, and never patronising.

Made for Children's BBC, it was a hit with all those who saw it, and could have grown further had it moved to a later timeslot. We loved it when we saw it in the early 1990s, and we still love it today. A hugely enjoyable series.
