The best Robin Hood was...

I'm currently watching Robin of Sherwood on ITV4 and Michael Praed will always be the ultimate Robin Hood for me. Jason Connery was a poor second.
The long dark hair, those cheekbones...mmmm.

All rubbish except for Errol Flynn.
Absolutely right.

The fox. My first crush also.

Sparklingbrook · 23/08/2021 18:18

Michael Praed.

Definitely not Jason Connery as Robin Hood was not blonde IMO.

The fox one. definitely.

I had a poster of Michael praed as Robin Hood on the back of my bedroom door. Kissed him goodnight for years. Cried my eyes out when he was killed off in Robin of sherwood. Jason connery just didn't cut it

I really liked Jonas Armstrong except obviously I only wanted Guy (Richard Armitage) in that series.

Pashazade · 23/08/2021 20:15

Oh yes
Michael Praed (teenage crushes last such a long time Grin)
then Cary Elwes

Prince John:*
And why would the people listen to you?
Robin Hood:
Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.

Oh and Patrick Stewart is the best Richard the Lionheart!

MrsMoastyToasty · 23/08/2021 20:33

@pointythings Nasir (Mark Ryan) was my back up

The Fox.

pointythings · 23/08/2021 20:40

Weirdly enough I finished rewatching the box set a few weeks ago - I do it every few years and each time I'm surprised by how good it was.

Totally
MissMaudSilver · 23/08/2021 20:43

So glad to see all the Errol Flynn fans about. He will always be the best in my opinion. Though I like Patrick Bergin's version too and Jeroen Krabbe was a great Sheriff of Nottingham.

MrsMoastyToasty · 23/08/2021 21:08

Jase's dad Sean hasn't had a single mention.

Michael Praed. Used to get my hormones racing, ready for a Saturday night out on the town 🤣🤣🤣🤣

HelenaJustina · 23/08/2021 21:36

Cary Elwes and then Foxy McFox.

@Pashazade I have read the whole thread to see whether anyone else referenced that line!

GoodnightGrandma · 23/08/2021 21:36

@Desario

Cary Elwes! men in tights! hilarious bloody film!
Came on to say the same !
StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 23/08/2021 21:37

Cary Ewles. After all, he speaks with a good english accent 😁

Then the fox.

Pebbledashery · 23/08/2021 21:37

I love Achoo in men in tights too 🤣

PuppyMonkey · 23/08/2021 21:48

I’m going Praed too. We’re surely about due another version aren’t we, they seem to remake it every five years?

PuppyMonkey · 23/08/2021 21:49

Kit Harrington for the next version?

piratehooker · 23/08/2021 21:50

Another one here for the hilarious Carey Elwes, followed by Mr Fox!

Disfordarkchocolate · 23/08/2021 21:50

Errol Flynn and The Fox depending on my mood.
