One of the earliest surviving ballads names the king Edward. So, lots of room to play around in if they're going for a "real" Robin Hood. But my first thought reading it turned to the Mind Robber and the Land of Fiction. (Personally I find the evidence toward any of the various historical Robin Hoods to be scanty at best propped up by a lot of wishful thinking.) "Print the legend" -- it's worked for 600 years.<br /><br />Oh, and of course, Patrick Troughton was TV's first Robin Hood.Allen W.

Indeed, IDW did a crossover with Star Trek, and it's been acknowledged as fictional on TV. It's also been suggested that Robin was based on a real person. Something that folks are missing, by the way, is Robin Hood is a contemporary of Richard the Lionheart, so we could be lining up here for a sequel/sidequel to The Crusade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-27458113694955163392014-04-04T17:33:15.762+01:002014-04-04T17:33:15.762+01:00It was Battlefield, actually, but I get your point...It was Battlefield, actually, but I get your point.

I'd assume that it would revolve around the origin of the myth, perhaps the Doctor turns out to be him (though that's a bit obvious for 'Who'). Also, if my memory serves me correctly Alan-A-Dale was a rooster the size of a fox. A bit of a stretch for any actor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12035535321685990454noreply@blogger.com
