Last year the classic '80s series
Robin of Sherwood came to DVD with the first season set in the spring, and then second (and final) season set in the fall (the latter season starred Jason "son-of-Sean" Connery in the title role). Now Acorn Media is combining both into a 10-Disc
Robin of Sherwood - The Complete Collection set. This collector's edition features all 26 episodes, digitally remastered and running 22 hours. Plus you'll get over 17 hours of fabulous extras:
- 14 commentary tracks
- Behind-the-scenes documentary The Electric Theatre Show, with bonus footage
- Making-of documentary Clannad: Scoring Robin of Sherwood
- 4 retrospective documentaries
- Outtakes
- Behind-the-scenes footage
- U.S., French and "Textless" credit sequences
- And more!
The episodes are closed captioned for the hearing impaired. Cost will be $99.99 SRP in the U.S., and CA$119.99 SRP in Canada. It's available on
July 29th. Here's a studio description, followed by package art:
This acclaimed British series adds a bit of sorcery and mysticism to the swordplay and social justice that make the Robin Hood legend so enduring. Heading up the superb ensemble cast are Michael Praed (Dynasty) as Robin of Loxley, Ray Winstone (Beowulf) as seething-mad Scarlet, and Nickolas Grace (Brideshead Revisited) as the greedy, conniving Sheriff of Nottingham. In the final 13 episodes, Robert of Huntingdon (Jason Connery, Shanghai Noon) assumes Robin's mantle. Shot entirely on location in England, the series also features an award-winning score by the Irish band Clannad.
