Pierce Egan the Younger (Dec 19, 1814 - July 6, 1880). Egan published a serialized novel Robin Hood and Little John in 1838 (as a book in 1840) It was a widely imitated best-seller and translated into French by Alexandre Dumas #RobinHood #VictorianLiterature #BOTD #PierceEgan

Robin Hood: Bold Outlaw was first created in 1997 and has been providing information about #RobinHood ever since www.boldoutlaw.com

Happy 62nd anniversary, #DoctorWho! I think Robin Hood has forgiven you for that spoon thing. (The Doctor and Robin Hood bonded over being criticized by Mary Whitehouse.) #DoctorWhoDay

Happy 50th anniversary to the The Legend of Robin Hood starring Martin Potter, Diane Keen, Paul Darrow (Avon from #Blakes7) and John Abineri (Herne from #RobinofSherwood). It premiered on Nov. 23, 1975 and was a big hit in America on PBS two years later. #RobinHood #OTD

Nov. 8, 1973: Robin Hood (Disney cartoon) was released in theatres. #OTD #Disney #RobinHood #Disneycartoons #animation 50th anniversary spotlight: www.boldoutlaw.com/oodelally-ro... (Robin is voiced by Brian Bedford)

Robin Hood’s death date 24 Kalends, 1247 is a phony Roman style date that’s impossible. But if you really kept counting back from the kalends, that would be Nov. 8, 1247 boldoutlaw.com/rhbal/bal120b.… Happy Death Day#RobinHoodod#medievala#OTDTD

Happy Halloween! #TrickorTreat seems very Robin Hood to me. #Halloween #HappyHalloween #RobinHood

Robert Hardy was born 100 years ago today. (Oct. 29, 1925 - Aug. 3, 2017) Maybe you know him as Siegfried Farnon in the original All Creatures Great and Small or from Harry Potter films or as Winston Churchill. Did you know he wrote the definitive book on the #medieval longbow? #RobertHardy #BOTD

Happy #InternationalRobinHoodDay! I’m working on some updates for www.boldoutlaw.com and will be donating to a few charities today. Proud to be a part of keeping the #RobinHood legend alive. #RobinHoodDay #LoveNotts

King John I of England (reign 1199-1216) died on the night of October 18-19, 1216 at Newark Castle in Nottinghamshire. Who is your favourite film or television version of King/Prince John? #OTD #MedievalHistory #MedievalMovies #KingJohn #PrinceJohn #RobinHood #Nottinghamshire

Oct. 18, 1922 - Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood becomes the first film to get a major Hollywood premiere. 100th anniversary spotlight of this silent movie classic: www.boldoutlaw.com/robspot/doug... #OTD #HollywoodHistory #RobinHood #DouglasFairbanks #silentcinema #classicmovies

I knew right away that this was the profile to do for Deliverance. Tony Caunter’s Friar Tuck is a particular favourite of mine, and one of the best things in the 1975 The Legend of Robin Hood. #TonyCaunter #RobinHood

Parke Godwin made the Normans vs Saxon more potent in his novel Sherwood by setting the story over a century before usual, to immediately after the Norman Conquest. #RobinHood

October 14, 1066: The Battle of Hastings. An event that looms large in the Robin Hood legend (after Sir Walter Scott’s 1819 novel Ivanhoe), even though most versions of #RobinHood are set over 100 years later. #BattleofHastings #OTD #NothingsForgotten

And when I think of #ErrolFlynn, 1959 and Canada — I also think of Errol Flynn’s appearance as the mystery guest on CBC’s Front Page Challenge: www.cbc.ca/player/play/... As witness to Castro’s revolution

Oct. 14, 1959: Errol Flynn dies in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He was arguably the greatest movie version of Robin Hood. Contemporary news reports claimed he died laughing. #OTD #ErrolFlynn #RobinHood #HollywoodHistory #ClassicMovies #Vancouver 1938 film: www.boldoutlaw.com/robspot/flyn...

A little tidbit I discovered in rewatching the second series of the 2006-2009 Robin Hood TV series is that in the penultimate episode of that season, “A Good Day to Die” by Dominic Minghella, October 14 is said to be Robin Hood’s birthday. Happy birthday to this incarnation of #RobinHood

Rocket Robin Hood and the 60s Spider-Man cartoon shared Canadian voice casts. Paul Kligman’s wonderfully nattering voice brought life to both Friar Tuck and J. Jonah Jameson. #RocketRobinHood #SpiderMan #SpiderMan67 #animation #classicanimation #canadiantelevision

Trust me, Canadian kids noticed when the 60s Spider-Man cartoon borrowed whole episodes from Rocket Robin Hood. #RocketRobinHood #SpiderMan #SpiderMan67 #animation #Canadiantelevision

Rocket Robin Hood premiered on the English language CBC channels on Oct. 9, 1967. It features the direct descendant of Robin Hood in the year 3000. The early episodes were sci-fi #RobinHood tales. The later episodes by Ralph Bakshi were stranger. #OTD #animation #Canada #CanadianTelevision

The 19th anniversary of Jonathan Ross’s World of Robin Hood (Oct. 8, 2006). A #documentary designed to promote the new #RobinHood TV series. It had interviews with actors of shows past and present, scholars … and me. My interview was filmed in the real #SherwoodForest. #JonathanRoss #OTD

I can’t let the 19th anniversary of the 2006 #RobinHood TV series pass without saluting the amazing Frances Tempest, costume designer of the first two years. www.boldoutlaw.com/robint/franc... She was smart, funny and very honest. I loved meeting her. #OTD #FrancesTempest #classicTV

Happy 19th anniversary to the 2006-2009 Robin Hood TV series from BBC / Tiger Aspect. The first episode “Will You Tolerate This?” Written by co-creator @dminghella.bsky.social premiered Oct. 7, 2006. The show defined #RobinHood for a generation - a “Playstation Generation”. #OTD #ClassicTV

“Beating and Binding in a Shaky Liturgical Era” looks at the beer-worshipping friar, villainous bishops and other religious figures of the late 20th century #RobinHood legend. (The title cobines a line from a 15th century ballad with a 1991 Roger Ebert review) www.boldoutlaw.com/hidden-grove...

The second season of #Batman66 began with #Batman and #Robin fighting the Archer, played by #ArtCarney. Check out this article about these #RobinHood themed episodes. www.boldoutlaw.com/hidden-grove... #ClassicTV #superheroes (Cameo by #DickClark)

I didn’t hold my tongue about the greatness of When Things Were Rotten created by #MelBrooks. Now celebrating 50 years. Yay for #RobinHood www.boldoutlaw.com/robspot/When... #ClassicTV #70sTV

To be fair, I do compare the incomparable Jacqueline Pearce. I’ve often described Servalan as “The Sheriff of Nottingham as played by Joan Collins in Dynasty”. But I think “Margaret Thatcher as played by Julie Newmar” is pretty good too. #Blakes7 #RobinHood

I actually just posted three #RobinHood spotlights. It’s like waiting for a bus… And there’s more to come. Jacqueline Pearce isn’t the only #Blakes7 star I’ll be covering this year. (There’s a link to a skeleton page for a review to come.) www.boldoutlaw.com/robspot/aven... #TheAvengers

On Sept. 26, 1955, #CBS aired the first episode of The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Richard Greene (aired in Canada and UK earlier that month). A 70th anniversary look at the first two episodes: www.boldoutlaw.com/robspot/gree... #RobinHood #ClassicTV #OTD #50sTV

A Happy #BatmanDay salute to Robin the Boy Wonder (the Teen Wonder). Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger and Bob Kane named #Batman’s sidekick after #RobinHood. His costume was also inspired by N.C. Wyeth’s illustrations of Robin Hood. #DCComics #ComicBooks
