Robin Hood

Sharper than the edge of a mighty broadsword and slicker than a speeding arrow, Spike Milligan rampages through the tale of Robin Hood like an outlaw on the run through Sherwood Forest.

All of Robin's Merry Men are in attendance in Spike's Robin Hood, although not quite as they were in the original version. Maid Marion is a champion pole vaulter, Little John has been renamed Big Dick (for reasons we need not go into here) and Will Scarlet and Friar Tuck are joined by a brand new addition to the renegade band - Groucho Marx.

Together the men, and women, of Sherwood do battle against the evil Prince John, the despicable Sheriff of Nottingham and the loathesome Sir Guy de Custard Gisborne.

'Who loosed that arrow?' demanded Prince John.
He turned as he spoke and saw at the edge of the glade a man wearing a green cloak over his suit of brown and widdling against a tree.
'Who goes there?' called the Prince, pointing to the tree.
'We all do.'

You've never seen anything like this in green tights before.
