I was enormously lucky and proud to have the opportunity to write and ‘showrun’ this series for Tiger Aspect and the BBC, working alongside the gifted Foz Allan.
There are many more great people who helped me than I could possibly thank. And this is not the place.
I do just want to mention Andy Price’s music though. His contribution has been somewhat overlooked. But the work is sublime. I might upload a track or two to show you what I mean.
It wasn’t all roses of course. I gather I am the target of some abuse from Robin Hood fans for messing unduly with their legend. Indulging in too much anachronism. Or killing Marian in episode 26. And the BBC, I am sure, would have liked me to have ‘gone further’. You can’t please everybody, especially on the budgets I had (which, contrary to some reports, were tight – much less, for example, than Doctor Who).
La-dee-dah-dee-dah.
