Made merry man.

How exciting.

Autumn 2006 sees the return of Robin Hood to our tellybox screens. He'll be filling Doctor Who's slot for 13 weeks.

This will be brilliant. Here is why:

• It's ganna be on the BBC, who do this type of thing quite well.
• It's written by the brother of that guy who directed that film with Jude Law and Matt Damon, and that film with Jude Law and Nicole Kidman. And those other film's with people in.
• As seen from the above picture, Robin Hood is well buff.
• Pretty much any Robin Hood media so far has been brilliant. Examples include Disney's Robin Hood and Maid Marrion and her Merry Men.
• Friar Tuck won't be in it. This is no loss whatsoever - he's all fat and holy.

Right, I'm off into the attic to dig out my childhood Robin Hood costume. Although it's got no arrows with it because Mum confiscated them. She had a great uncle who lost his eye after being shot with a toy arrow. Which is hardly a valid excuse I'm sure you'll agree.
