Ages ago, CJ was complaining about the small weedy child who plays Robin Hood in the latest BBC series. So I thought I'd post a wee little video (under 2 mins!) of the 80s-tastic Robin of Sherwood series featuring the perfect profile and shiny, mulleted hair of pretty Michael Praed doing his very best Man O' The Woods - inspired RH. For those of you across the pond, this is Prince watzsisname from Dynasty.
I cannot tell you how I much I loved Michael Praed as Robin Hood. I wanted to brush his hair and stroke his perfect jawline. He was sooooo pretty. And it wasn't just Michael. It was everything. The cod paganism with Herne the Hunter. The ginger girl as Maid Marian who just screamed pre-Raphaelite. A young Ray Winstone as Will Scarlet. Nickolas Grace as the Sheriff who I loved loved loved in Brideshead. And soundtrack by Clannad!
Anyway, ignore my over-excited meanderings (and the Polish[?] over dubbing). Here it is.

What a lovely man! I totally get what you're saying about wanting to just sit and brush his hair. Wow!
Have you seen the Michael Praed/Robin of Sherwood Youtube video compilation to the tune of "I need a hero"? I think you'd like it (and if you don't like the song, you can just turn down the sound and watch Robin being a hero!)
Oh my, I had such a crush on him when he was on Dynasty. *sighs*
Mmmmm... Robin Hood stuff. I'm so easy to please.
The Robin Hood video was exactly the visual I needed. I've been re-reading waaaay old romances I stored in the basement (Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, anyone?) and this yummy memory iced my cake. Thank you!
How in the world did we do that at the same time, T?
Heh.
Whoa! How did I miss this? Now THAT is a proper Robin! A most proper Robin indeed!
