Robin of Sherwood
Robin of Sherwood was a British television series, based on the legend of Robin Hood.

In America it was retitled Robin Hood and shown on the premium cable TV channel Showtime and on PBS. The show starred Michael Praed and Jason Connery as two different incarnations of the title character.

The series is also notable for its haunting title music by Clannad, which won a BAFTA award.
