Episode Information:

Episode 1. Robin Hood and the Sorceror part 1 (April 28, 1984)

The Saxon village of Loxley is destroyed by Norman soldiers. The village's rebel leader Ailric, guardian of the silver arrow--an ancient symbol of pre-Christian religion--manages to get his five year old son, Robin, to safety before the attack. Before Ailric is killed by the Sheriff of Nottingham, he predicts that "the hooded man" will come to fight tyranny. Fifteen years later Robin catches his foster brother, Much, killing a deer--an offense punishable by loss of a hand. Before they can get away, they are captured by Abbot Hugo's steward, Sir Guy of Gisburne. He takes them to the dungeon in Nottingham Castle. Robin and Much escape from the dungeon along with Will Scarlet. Robin encounters and falls in love with the beautiful Lady Marion.

Guest cast: Anthony Valentine as Simon de Belleme, Toby Lee as young Robin, Wayne Michaels as Ailric, Geoffrey Greenhill as the Miller (Much's father), Betty Francis as the Miller's wife, Paul Duggan as Tom Fletcher, Mark Audley as Dickon, Stuart Linden as old prisoner, Harry Herring as the clerk, Thomas Henty as Walter Flambard, and Kim Hicks ad Gillie Roper as Belleme's witches.

Episode 2. Robin Hood and the Sorceror part 2 (April 28, 1984)

The evil Baron de Belleme wants to marry Marion but she thinks she'd rather become a nun! Belleme wants Marion and the silver arrow, but first this sorceror will have to battle the new leader of the forest outlaws, Herne's chosen son--Robin i' the Hood. This episode introduces all the main characters and features fiery passionate speeches given by Robin, terrific growling by Will, excellent sword and eyebrow action from Nasir, a very sweet, young Much, a gentle giant in Little John, an incandescently beautiful Marion, steadfast Tuck, great pouting by Sir Guy, and a wonderfully evil Sheriff, Hugo and the snaky sorcerer, Belleme.

Guest cast: see episode 1

Jennet, a beautiful village herbalist, is in trouble. She has been framed for witchcraft by Gisburne, whose advances she refused.

The disillusioned band splits up only to come together again in a mystical fashion.
