intertextual mine #3
Robion Hood: here is a clip from the original tv series – at least, the first part of an episode from the 3rd series i think.
apparently made in the 50s, i used to watch this in the afternoon after school, almost every day. we all knew the theme song, at least the refrain, and bows and arrows were in fashion with my friends, as well as staffs and swords – when we weren’t chucking star knives inspired by ‘the samurai’ ninjas.
there is no clip i could find with the themse song, unfortunately, but there was a youtube recording with a blank screen which i’ve also embedded should anyone need to listen (as well as one clip recorded over some excerpts from the latest bbc tv series (which i cannot watch btw – too clean and self-conscious – but i guess young people might like it these days as it is similar in flavour to the 50s version merely updated…).)
