I watched this season and the other two's when they aired on BBC, and now I'am waiting for my dvdbox of season two. <br /><br />You are so right about Marian! That was a little weird and somethimes just annoying when she arrived at the scene with pants on. Gosh! :)Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698452908549878264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-88936656489097765492010-04-30T15:29:03.894-04:002010-04-30T15:29:03.894-04:00HI Heather,
This is from an interview with Frances...HI Heather,<br />This is from an interview with Frances Tempest the award winning costume designer on the BBC’s Robin Hood and this is her discussing Marian’s costume:<br /><br />AWW: And Marian had that sort of cardigan look.<br /> <br />FT: Well, Lucy Griffiths, Marian in real life, was very young. Foz's idea was that Marian should wear the kind of clothes that the teenage girl audience would want to go and buy. He wanted to do a fashion range and put it in Top Shop and call it the Maid Marian range. And I'm glad to say that never happened, but that was his thinking.<br /><br />AWW: You could have made some money off that.<br /> <br />FT: Well in fact, I did get letters from girls saying "where did Marian get her green jumper? I want one like that." There was a big change with her between series one and two. In series one, she was quite demure, quite covered up. I wouldn't use the word authentic, but she was a tribute towards the medieval. <br /><br />But then Foz wanted a much more sexy Marian in series two. He wanted her to look older and more womanly and more shapely. And more seductive. There's only so much you can do with a costume, because she was only 18.<br /><br />So we established our central core of characters. There would obviously be new characters coming in. And we were shooting two episodes simultaneously all the time. So, on any one day, you could be doing scenes from two episodes which gave everybody a nervous breakdown. You had to make sure the right people were in the right clothes at the right time. <br /><br />The whole interview can be seen on Allen Wright’s Bold Robin Hood web site.Clement Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116966238223089211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-1094119997210588822010-04-29T17:59:24.481-04:002010-04-29T17:59:24.481-04:00Oh Christine I totally agree - I wouldn't have...Oh Christine I totally agree - I wouldn't have put together the connection myself, but now that you say that, he does look like Billy Joel!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609161113240681299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-23342998042832076672010-04-29T10:58:17.766-04:002010-04-29T10:58:17.766-04:00I've been watching the series on Netflix (that...I've been watching the series on Netflix (that way you can just watch episode after episode in one long, lazy weekend).

Richard Armitage = HOT!<br />The theme song does bring everything together, and yes, there are a few throw away episodes.<br /><br />Wait until you get to Season 2!!!!<br />This is a series I would re-watch anytime.Jenny Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077659644092707107noreply@blogger.com
