DVD Description

It's a little known fact that Robin Hood was a complete wimp who took all the credit for the grit in Maid Marian's guts. It was, in fact, she who assembled and fought oppression with a bunch of prats known as the Merry Men - a dwarf called Little Ron, a Rastafarian, an ugly dolt by the name of Rabies and a yuppie called Robin of Kensington. Doing incredibly brave things like piercing their ears and rescuing tadpoles, Marian and her men combat the cruelty of a mad, bad, king called John and his villanous Sheriff of Nottingham.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more realistic than 'Prince of Thieves', 1 Mar 2006
By Union Jak (Sussex) - See all my reviews
And just as funny!

Maid Marian is, to put quite simply, THE greatest children's comedy ever in the history of TV. This is THE DVD event of 2006.

It is a Robin Hood parody which pre-dates Men in Tights and spoofs Robin of Sherwood, and to an extent, the Costner version as well.

It tells the story of Marian, a simple, yet brave young woman who ends up forming a band of Merry Men against the evil king John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Robin had nothing to do with it, he was just a tailor from kensington who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Joined by a Rasta, a dwarf and a village idiot, they fight to free Worksop from Norman rule.

Tony Robinson, of Blackadder fame, wrote and starred in this comedy, which also stars Red Dwarf's Danny John-Jules as Barrington. It is a brilliant BBC comedy, I absolutely beg you to give it a viewing!

The extras make sure it goes beyond vanilla disks, by including a trailer, a quiz, a german version as well as an exclusive comic book drawn by Paul Cemmick.

Roll on Series two!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's here at long, long last, 9 Mar 2006
The DVD everyone has been waiting for... Maid Marian and her Merry Men was not only the greatest ever childrens' TV show, it is probably my favourite product of television ever. A recent viewing of an old recording had about 6 late-20 yr olds rolling round in histerics. My 50 year old mother loves it, my 9 year old cousins love it. A recent repeat on Children's BBC was a roaring success despite it being 16 years old. Do not do anything until you have seen this.
The height to which my recommendation reaches is unfathomable.
And don't we just LOVE that theme tune....

5.0 out of 5 stars The next archer, from the village of Ambridge...., 22 Feb 2007
By Mr. J. Stow "jake1981sp" (Essex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've reached the ripe old age of 25 years old, but since discovering a minute ago that every episode of the brilliant Maid Marion and Her Merry Men is finally available on DVD, I'm as excited as a small child on Christmas Eve.

Having taped virtually every episode back in the day and watched them to the point of the tapes wearing out, I thought they would be lost forever, but thankfully whoever owned the rights has seen sense.

This may be a children's programme, but there is much in it to entertain adults. Tony Robinson's humour, as has been mentioned elsewhere, has more than a hint of Blackadder about it (you'll find yourself laughing out loud frequently); the numerous songs are hilarious; and the cast are excellent to a person, throughout.

You owe it to yourself to buy all 4 series of this excellent show right now - I just have :)
