"Well, in the real world things don't always add up."
When Robin Hood and his Merry Men, stop a cart going to market and find that it is actually a tax man, Robin gets an idea of how to get into the castle to get all the taxes to give them to the people.
"What are you trying to do, feed the world?"
"Don't give me ideas."

Genre: Action, Adventure, Period Drama, Romance.
Costumes: 6, some of the clothes don't really fit into the time period.
My favorite:

  1. I didn't like this episode so very much, some how. What I did like was that Edward finally accepted that Marian wanted to help the poor as the Nightwatchman. That she was who she was.
    'What are you trying to do, feed the world?'
    'Don't give me ideas.' Love that. That's so funny.
    'Look, I don't suppose it's any good telling you to hurry up?' That was Allan who said that, right? He often starts his sentences with ''Look'' :)

    1. Yes! Same! It isn't one of my favorite episodes, but I love that Edward accepted Marian. I love the scene where Edward didn't need to agree to her terms, but he did!
      That is Much saying it to Will, when Will is trying to make a key out of the chests.
      Thank you so much for your comment Ruth!

  2. I did not liked this episode. It was quite weird, with the nun and the tax man. Not my favourite episode.
    What I did like, just like Ruth said, that Edward finally excepted that Marian wants to help the poor, playing the Nightwatchman. Which I would definitely do if I was living in the middle ages.

    1. It is a very weird episode. I, too, did not really like it.

      But, that was a really good scene! "That, I like." :) That would me sort of fun being a mystery person helping the poor! I probably would do that too, if I had lived then.

      Thanks for your comment, Rachel!
