The pagan flavor of the series has also made its way into the popular imagination – Carpenter decided that Robin would not just be a man who decided to fight an oppressive regime, but would be specially chosen for his destiny by Herne the Hunter, an antlered forest god who spoke to Robin via the (consensual) possession of an unnamed shaman, played by John Abineri. The introduction of the Saracen ex-assassin Nasir (played by Mark Ryan) came about more or less by accident, but the character’s presence was significant enough that the writers of Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves included their own Muslim character, under the impression that this was a standard element of the Robin Hood legend. Robin Of Sherwood brought new elements to the centuries-old Robin Hood story, and incorporated them so fully that they have become part of the legend itself – until Robin of Sherwood, the outlaws never had a Muslim companion. Carpenter was clear from the beginning that he wanted the outlaws to feel like young, idealistic revolutionaries, plucky underdog Saxons in a class struggle against the colonising Normans, represented onscreen by Nickolas Grace’s perpetually bad-tempered Sheriff of Nottingham and Robert Addie’s hapless Guy of Gisbourne. Peter Llewellyn Williams, who played Robin’s foster brother Much, was only nineteen when filming began, and had no formal training – but in fact most of the outlaw side of the cast were not much older than he was, with Phil Rose, who played the kind and knowledgeable Tuck, being the oldest of the band, in his early thirties when filming began. Judi Trott was an intelligent, determined Marion who held her own fighting with the rest of the outlaws, with a pre-Raphaelite look that complemented Praed’s fey athleticism. Ray Winstone had already appeared in Scum, Quadrophenia, and the gangland drama Fox, establishing his gritty credentials and bringing a tougher, darker energy to the band of outlaws (no longer in green tights and not called the Merry Men, at least not on screen) as a tormented and vengeful Will Scarlet. Michael Praed’s charismatic-yet-otherworldly presence as Robin was the perfect match for the show’s aesthetic, and the more down-to-earth Little John, played by Clive Mantle, was his ideal right-hand man.
