Behind the scenes of Robin Hood

Welcome to England – where citizens are torn over an unpopular war in the Middle East, where politicians and law enforcement officials are held in suspicion, where millions live in run-down estates.

We speak, of course, of an England of long ago: a place of castles and maidens, longbows and quarterstaffs, and criminals hiding in forests. And one of these criminals is Robin of Locksley, aristocrat turned outlaw. A former soldier in the Crusades, Robin returned from that brutal conflict to find Nottingham in the grip of the corrupt and sadistic Sheriff.

Dispossessed and desperate, Robin must now wage a guerrilla war against the Sheriff's forces, while at the same time wooing back his former fiancée, Lady Marian. Which won't be easy, as she's become the obsession of the darkly handsome Sir Guy of Gisborne – a sort of psychotic Mr Darcy who works for the Sheriff. Things aren't going to be pretty, even the stars themselves are rather on the gorgeous side.
