MAID MARIAN & HER MERRY MEN ...

Is a children's TV series about the adventures of Maid Marian as the leader of the Merry Men instead of Robin Hood who is portrayed as an inept ex-tailor rather than the valiant leader of the band of outlaws known as the Merry Men.

The TV series is historical in a tongue and cheek sort of way and is genuinely very funny as it follows the escapades of The Merry Men lead by Marian against King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. 

The TV series stars Tony Robinson of 'Time Team' and 'Black Adder' fame, so it is interesting to see how well the history is portrayed and parodied like in 'Black Adder' where he played a character called Baldrick. Robinson has expressed interest in continuing the series beyond series four and one Christmas special. Interestingly the series was adapted into a series of comics By Paul Cemmick for 'The Daily Telegraph' newspaper's children's newspaper: 'The Young Telegraph'.
