The first ever episode "Robin Hood and the sorceror" was broadcast as a single
one hour-forty minute episode; "The swords of Wayland", "Herne's son" and "The
Time of the Wolf" were broadcast as separate halves.

Some other things Judi has done:-

A part in "Heaven's gate" as John Hurt's girlfriend;
A small part in "Widows";
A drama for BBC1 called "Living apart together";
"Sarah Armstrong-Jones" in an American production to do with Princess Diana.
Various ads such as the bio-degradable soap powder and some sort of soap...

She's probably done much more than this but that's all I can remember.
Does anyone know anything else, such as if she has a fan club, the address
she can be written to, etc?

Robin of Sherwood is without doubt the best television program that has ever
been made. If anyone wants to talk about the program, please email me, I could
yack all day about it. In particular - is there a fan club?
