Now, I made this and it seriously took an hour but I am happy with the result. My sister says there are too many people, but I like it. What do you all think? (Okay, maybe I included too many photos of Robin, but it's what I could find.)
Thank you so much for participating in this Robin Hood BBC watch-along! It has been so much fun, please tell me all your thoughts on it!

Also, I always do a multiple of three for posts per month (how in the world did I come up with that?) but this month I'm not going to. This post makes it 25 and that is already a lot and I don't want to do more. But, you'll see me Sep. 1st!

  1. You made that yourself! it is great! Everyone with the bows! Just great!
    Robin Hood BBC is so good, I don't really know how to say that without just repeating: ''It is great!''
    Well, it is. Really wonderful!!
    Every character is so well-thought through, so real, they all have their faults. When I see a picture of an actress or actor, for example: Lucy Griffiths, I always just say: Marian. Not Lucy, or Lucy Griffiths, but Marian. As I do with all the others: Allan, Robin Hood, Djaq, Will, Much, Little John, Prince John, Carter, Isabella, Meg, Eve, everyone. <- I have the feeling I just missed an important character in that row. Think, think. Ah, yes of course, Tuck! And Kate, Archer, and Guy.

    1. Thank you, Ruth! I was hoping to find a picture with Little John using a bow, but I couldn't so it has almost everyone. :)
      Robin Hood BBC is my favorite show (so far), it is really good! Yes, it is!!
      They are very relatable. None of them are perfect, but that is what makes them so perfect for the show!
      Oh yes! I always think of Marian when I see Lucy Griffiths! And the same for all the others, in fact, I have seen Richard Armitage in other movies but I always think, "Guy!" when I see him. I don't think I could watch any movies where he is the hero, well in here he is sort of the hero, but you know what I mean. For Joanne Froggat I either think Kate, or Anna (How can she be so annoying as Kate, and so nice as Anna?).
      Thank you so so so much for participating, Ruth!!!!
