Can't say I've watched any of them right through, I've occasionally watched snippets now and again, it would have to be Sword Of Sherwood Forest because I always think of Richard Greene as the original Robin.

History Today, doesn't inspire you with confidence that blog, they say that The Adventures Of Robin Hood was a BBC production, I'm sure it was made for the commercial side, wasn't it.
