I really enjoyed this show. They really made the characters likeable. One of my favourite characters was Will Scarlet.

I'm also a Clannad fan and actually their cassette "Legend", which has all the theme music for the show.

As for why they changed actors, I have no idea.

I can't really say that I have a favourite Robin. It didn't really worry me that they changed actors. I didn't see Robin as the star of that show because there were so many great characters I liked more than Robin. I had a friend who was adament that Connery was not right for the part of Robin. I think other's preferred Praed too.

Nasir was good too. It was a good touch bringing him in, all though I had never heard of him before. I guess he was made up for the show because I'm pretty sure he was never in the original legends. For that matter I don't think I had heard of psychopath Will Scarlet either.

I found it interesting that Alan A Dale was not in it very long. He never seemed to be a regular character on that show. Didn't he come in to it for a few episodes and then get killed off?
