Talk:Robin Hood (2006 TV series)

message: Pretty much every TV series has an episode page, shouldn't we create a List of Robin Hood episodes?--Codenamecuckoo 07:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought we should wait to see how successful the series was before creating extra pages for it. But if there's a consensus to remove the list to a separate page then I suppose that's what we should do. Personally, I'd wait until the first series has aired, at least. Angmering 19:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would also wait for the first series to finish, there are plenty of TV series which don't have separate episode pages, so I don't think there is any precendednt.--NeilEvans 20:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I got the next title from the blog of its writer, Paul Cornell — I've no idea where the summary that the anon editor has added to the main page came from, though. Angmering 21:38, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Is it copied word-for-word? If so it needs to be rewritten to avoid breaching copyright. Angmering 22:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Erm... if that's not copyright material then I don't know what is, frankly! Angmering 06:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I've shifted it to Robin Hood (TV series) per the ongoing (new?) standard for naming on television series. It sounds like a number of folks were moving things and got wires crossed. My apologies if I screwed anything/anyone up in the process. --Mhking 17:32, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

*The show has already been renewed for a second season: Robin returns for second series. It will air in 2007. Also, as the article mentions, the "2006 series" will air in other countries sometime in 2007. The specific reference to 2006 really should be removed. Bendono 00:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: #Oppose A disambiguation tag should be unique, not ambiguous. There should be an article on the earlier series and having all the disambiguated articles using unique titles will be much better than entering into claim. Also technically this show is produced by Tiger Aspect Productions - currently in the info box "BBC" only appears as the channel(s). Timrollpickering 02:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This article needs a criticism section. Because it's the biggest load of shite I've ever had the misfortune to watch. After Richard & Judy, obviously.
For example, CPR (as mentioned above) blonde highlights, french manicures, modern tailored clothing etc. all serve to ruin any sort of realism. 86.150.211.165 23:34, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I keep meaning to add some of the criticism that appeared when the show started to the reaction section. I'll try and get around to it soon. Angmering 07:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Is there any basis for the criticism section other than some Wikipedians' dislike of the show?  It seems rather foolish to treat the Knight's Tale-esque intentional anachronisms as flaws, especially without reference to any authority that does so.  The section, if kept, would make more sense if labelled "Style" or something similar.  The examples given, however, are very arbitrarily selected; some are very minor points compared to other more obvious and interesting modern references, of which there are many in every episode.--Trystan (talk) 04:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: Should this article have a section discussing the political commentary peppered through the episodes? For instance, the Sherrif describes his hunt for Robin as a "war on terror", Guy and Marian have an argument in the second episode because Guy and the Sherrif are refusing Robin a trial, saying he is an outlaw and thus an enemy, and since their at war they don't have to give enemies trials. Robin at one point quotes the Quoran, ect. I've only watched up to the fifth episode, but I'm sure there are more.--Pyritefoolsgold 02:51, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If there are reliable published sources that discuss it, then certainly it can be mentioned, but it can't be added as our own observation. Angmering 11:27, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I found a review that mentions it by the BBC here. [] Would that be admissible? I'm honestly not incredibly familiar with the procedure here.--67.110.198.78 07:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's certainly a reliable source. You could add a bit to the reception section perhaps along the lines of "It has been observed that the series' storylines often act as a political commentary on events in 21st century, such as the war on terror and 2003 invasion of Iraq." And then cite that article. Something like that anyway. Angmering 10:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Political Commentary 

message: (longbows did not arrive until just before the Hundred Years War) 
I'd love to know from what source this comment was drawn. The linked page on longbows clearly states that longbows are one of the simplest designs for a bow, and have been used for "hundreds or thousands of years". I've certainly never seen anything that indicates the English style longbow was developed during the middle ages. They may have upped the poundage a bit, but that's a manufacturing decision, not a design decision.  Myk 00:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I believe that's one of the classic anachronisms of the Robin Hood legend.  The tales take place during the era of King Richard the Lionhearted which places things in the 1190's AD.  The English Longbow does not become popular for almost another century around 1250+ AD.  Some authors will dance around this by stating that bows had been around for centuries and while the longbow does not become popular for another century, it does not mean that longbows did not exist and Robin might have had an early longbow before they became mainstream.  In the show, Robin uses a Saracen bow, not even the traditional English Longbow.  This is all moot since the series is not striving for historical accuracy.  RepSchnell (talk) 03:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding of the longbow is that it was originally welsh, in fact there is a new theory, that robin hood was not a historical character, but originally a character from welsh folklore. anyway, trivia sections are not encouraged, and it should be noted that Robin Hood uses a re-curve bow and a scimitar 67.176.160.47 (talk) 04:49, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

message: FYI: Episode lists have been started by Dias cool:
#Robin Hood (season 1)‎
#Robin Hood (season 2)
#Robin Hood Series 3
#Series Three‎
Note that Series Three‎ came into being after I proposed Robin Hood Series 3 for deletion.  If the article needs a separate episode list, then it ought to be discussed.  And even if so, a list per series when only one series plus an episode have been broadcast seems more than necessary. --Scathlock 21:58, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The title of this page should be changed. This TV Show did not just run in 2006 - it has become a long-term drama, as series 2 ran in 2007 and series 3 is due to run during 2008.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.193.138 (talk) 09:42, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:TV-NAME sets out the naming convention.  The year refers to the debut, purely to distinguish it from earlier Robin Hood series.  The use of "series" implies the American rather than the British meaning, but that would have to be discussed as a change to the guideline.--Trystan (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  It isn't just a 2006 series 

message: I've removed this part:
:As of 14th January, the scripts are currently being written and filming starts late Spring 2008. Tiger Aspect confirmed that Lucy Griffths had left the show to 'pursue other projects', while they declinded to comment if Will and Djaq would appear.
...until we can find a citation for it, which I have been unable to do so far.
On a related noted, when we have a cited source that Lucy Griffiths has left the show, she will not be removed from the cast list, as a couple of IPs seem intent on doing.  Rather, we'll put (2006-2007) behind her name, since the article is about the entire programme, not just the latest series.  The same goes for Harry Lloyd and Anjali Jay, when we get confirmation one way or the other on their status.--Trystan (talk) 19:44, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Why isn't this at Robin Hood (BBC TV series)?  I was under the impression that years were only used when the more obvious name was not specific enough.  I.E. only if there were two BBC series named Robin Hood, would we need to use the year. —MJBurrage(T•C) 05:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
