Plague, what plague? Indeed, we're about two centuries too early for villages deserted due to plague, aren't we?

Maybe the Justinian one made a comeback


Maybe it did!

Someone 'singing' a ballad, maybe. With lute accompaniment.

I love a shawm, as it happens

Or maybe make-up had done some really dramatic plague victims with blood, pus etc and they had to censor it out.

This episode reminds me of so many Blakes 7 episodes.

Did they have a fake Visigoth too?

I need more Avon. And king Richard wasn't here at all. Will he return in the last episode?

I was waiting for Avalon to appear.

They used all the same writers in all the series.

He's got his hands full not quite recapturing Jerusalem

His story is usually a 'turns up in the nick of time' one.

You're thinking of Le Morte d'Arthur

Ah, yes. I should have remembered that.

This could be her encore - le morte de Robin in the Hood.

Well, we're half-way through it. And the last ep has to be the melodramatic bit about him firing the arrow out of the window (and hits the Sherriff of Nottingham again*) so they're going to have to fit an awful lot into the next two,


* Taiellin - it's from '1066 and all that' again.

I was waiting for Kasabi, Ro and Bayban - not necessarily in that order.

King Richard is off crusading - he's not going to get back in three weeks. Don't think you'll be seeing him again.

Alas methinks Robin is not long for this world. No chance of him dying in old age. Wonder if Marion ends up in a nunnery?

Death to the Normans! (who were Vikings anyway), and death to the Saxons (plus Angles, Jutes etc) as well. Southerners, the lot of 'em.

And when he gets back, he looks like Sean Connery. Or Sean Nunnery

Judging by description it is quite interesting! Thanks for telling me about it.

Joined up thinking. Yes, it's all starting to fit together very neatly now

It is the only history of England written for the consolation of the reader, and contains only two dates.

You should watch the film Robin and Marion starring Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn.

And Breakfast at Tiffany's. Though it could have done with a bit more medieval content

And the Errol Flynn one. And all 143 episodes of the Richard Greene TV series (the one with the right tune).

It's a funny parody of English history as it used to be taught in schools. It was actually not that unlike our primary school history, except that ours was Scottish.
