Aha! He needs kingsfoil, and Aragorn.


It would be great to see Aragorn here.

I read the ballad in a pretty good translation. The woman killed Robin in other way though.

It's supposed to mark the place where he wants to be buried, isn't it?

Yeah but he might hit someone. Basic H&S.
 
Taiellin
Is that the end? Already? It was sad.
 
Cygnus Bazza
Have we arrived at our terminus? So to speak.
 
OneSparePart
Bloody hell that was quick. No shilly-shallying there. Robin dead bang it's over.

Little John fired the arrow? Blasphemy!
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Cygnus Bazza
The series definitely got better as it progressed.
 
Taiellin
What are we going to watch next? Can I advise the Soviet science-fiction comedy Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession?

In 1066 and all that, the arrow hits the Sheriff of Nottingham.

You killed my brother, prepare to die! (Sorry, I'm a bit behind the rest of you).
 
M1795537OCVirn
Is this Ivan thingy streaming free somewhere?

Cygnus Bazza
We could do Tai's comedy next. Then maybe switch back to a bit more Pre-B7 Heaven?

The main hero builds a time machine. The thief and the manager Bunsha who looks like the tsar Ivan the Terrible find themselves in the past. Bunsha impersonates the tsar, and Ivan the Terrible tries to live in the future.

That'll be a great warm-up for WET GECKO on October 1st, which features Ivan very prominently

SO WHERE CAN WE WATCH IT???
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Cygnus Bazza
This is all too easy. Shouldn't we be doing more arguing?
 
AnneArthur
OK, at the end now. That was a bit of an anticlimax - no deathbed scene with Maid Marion, no final confrontation with the sheriff.
