Robin Hood - S01 E01 : Will You Tolerate This?




Fun, modern and intelligent, Robin Hood (2006) sets out to entertain a whole new generation and stars newcomer Jonas Armstrong in the lead role. Robin Hood's striking new look, coupled with Dominic Minghella's sharp scripts, updates the popular legend for a sophisticated contemporary audience.

Full of action, humour and romance, Robin Hood outwits and delights us as he fights the authority of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham with outrageous scams, disguises, tricks and ingenuity, breathtaking archery and incredible swordplay.



After five years fighting in the Crusades, Robin of Locksley returns home to find his people brutalized under the tyrannical rule of the new Sheriff. In his absence Sir Guy of Gisborne governed Robin's lands. Many villagers including the Scarlett family suffered terribly.

Robin seeks advice from the old Sheriff Edward and his daughter Marian. He's secretly delighted that his childhood sweetheart Marian remains unmarried, but she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with him.

Robin confronts the Sheriff about the state of Nottingham and slights him in front of a crowd. The Sheriff tries to force Robin to send Dan Scarlett's sons to the gallows. But Robin wages a daring rescue attempt and frees the boys.
