"I take it you didn't exactly see eye to eye?"
"No, not exactly, no! He drank all me whiskey, and then told me what Marx said about capital. I asked him which Marx he was talkin' about, Groucho or Chico. He didn't think that was very funny."

Robin of Sherwood is a really fun show! It's... probably not the most historically accurate thing ever, but it's relatively historically accurate I think for Robin Hood of its time, also I'm bi and Michael Praed's Robin and Judi Trott's Marion were both really hot. Also, the blooper reels are HILARIOUS and you can just see that the actors are all having so much fun there woth each other, and that's just such a nice thing to know!
Oh that sounds like so much fun. Arthuriana and Robin Hood adaptations get more leeway from me wrt historical accuracy, since folklore is written on for centuries and the point isn’t to Be Accurate; I think I’d really enjoy it.

Robin of Sherwood - Series Review
“Nothing’s forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten.”
When the BBC decided to finally pull the plug on its (frankly rubbish) version of Robin Hood back in 2009, I decided to take a look back into the distant past, to the decade that style forgot, and rediscover another (far superior) take on the legendary bandit, Robin of Sherwood.
Forget what you think you know. This is the definitive interpretation of the popular English myth, reinventing all that came before and influencing everything that would follow. Even the BBC’s naff version, which basically just ripped-off the Kevin Costner movie that in turn ripped-off this series.
Created in 1984 by Richard ‘Kip’ Carpenter (creator of Catweazle), on the surface Robin of Sherwood seemed like just another run of the mill version of Robin Hood, chronicling the adventures of Robin of Loxley (Michael Praed) and his merry band of thieves, Marion (Judi Trott), Little John (Clive Mantle), Will Scarlet (Ray Winstone), Much (Peter Llewellyn Williams) and Friar Tuck (Phil Rose) as they robbed from the stinking rich and gave to the poor. Added to the mix was the Saracen warrior Nasir (Mark Ryan), not a traditional part of the myth, but the producers and cast were too amazed by Ryan’s performance not to keep him around. As a result, every future version of Robin Hood would include a token Saracen character (something that still irritates Carpenter). As always, the bad guys were the Sheriff of Nottingham (Nickolas Grace), his brother, the corrupt Abbot Hugo (Philip Jackson) and their ever so blond lackey, Sir Guy of Gisburne (Robert Addie).
Beside the inclusion of a Saracen warrior, what really set the series apart from all the other Robin Hoods through the years was the way Carpenter presented us with a world that was a perfectly balanced mixture of authentic medieval dirt and grime, historical fact and pagan mythology. This was a Robin Hood who, when not battling Norman soldiers or vengeful Templar Knights, nattered with ancient forest spirits, was the chosen one of Herne the Hunter (John Abineri), fought evil sorcerers, witches, satanic nuns, demons and even Lucifer himself. All with total conviction and sincerity, no room for hokum and cheese.
Amazingly, all the fantasy and magic never clashed with the series' medieval realism. Carpenter was eager to avoid all the usual clichés of previous Robin Hood series and show a realistic and historically accurate 13th century England. Unlike the writers of most Robin Hood films and series, Carpenter actually bothered to read a history book. In this series, Richard Cœur de Lion was not some kind and noble king, but an arrogant brute, more concerned with foreign wars and claiming territory than with the welfare of his own people. His return didn't end the merry men’s troubles, it only prolonged them. His death only allowed for his brother, Prince John, to became king. The series would later chronicle key events of John’s reign including the dispute over the throne with Arthur of Brittany, his marriage to the 12-year-old Princess Isabella of France, and the build up to the Welsh uprising of 1211.
Above all else the series was propelled by an exceptional cast. Michael Praed made for a heroic and decent Robin, trading cocky bluster for an ethereal grace. This Robin was not a disgraced nobleman nor a veteran of the Crusades, he was a simple peasant, an orphan of Norman tyranny. A genuine man of the people. Plus, unlike some other Robin Hoods he could speak with an English accent. Along with Praed's Robin there was never a Marion as gutsy and bewitching as Judi Trott, a woman who didn’t need to dress up as a ninja to prove how tough she was. Elsewhere, Clive Mantle, later of Casualty fame, made for a kind and gentle giant as Little John and Mark Ryan proved that less is indeed more as Nasir. But the real standout was Ray Winstone as Will Scarlet. Yes, that Ray Winstone! Winstone said he based his entire performance on football hooligans and you believe him. His Will Scarlet was a vessel of barely controlled rage, a borderline psychotic, one step away from snapping.
While the series had many great villains, including Anthony Valentine’s demonic Baron De Belleme, Rula Lenska’s satanic nun Morgwyn of Ravenscar, Phil Davis’s unhinged King John and Richard O’Brien’s bog-eyed Gulnar, it was Nickolas Grace’s deliciously Machiavellian Robert de Rainault, Sheriff of Nottingham, that reigned supreme. This Sheriff never became a hammy caricature or shameful scene-stealer, easily putting both Alan Rickman and Keith Allen to shame.
It may seem like a cliché to say this but you do get the sense that these people really did enjoy working together and took pride in making the series. Everyone plays it absolutely straight, no ham or cheeky winks to the camera. Despite all the mysticism and magic this felt real and genuine. Good people died. Episodes didn’t always end with a freeze frame of our heroes looking smug at having foiled another of the Sheriff’s plans.
Along with the excellent acting and some terrific scripts by Carpenter, the series was always brilliantly shot and directed. Just look at the opening scenes from ‘The Swords of Wayland’ as the Hounds of Lucifer ride out of the morning sun and prepare to be completely wowed. The soundtrack by Irish band Clannad may seem dated by today’s standards but a lot of it still stands up and is not as cheesy as some would have you believe.
Sadly all things must eventually pass. At the end of the second series Praed decided to depart for Broadway and, later, Dynasty. Rather than call it quits, Carpenter decide to incorporate the other myth of Robin Hood, that of the nobleman Robert of Huntington, into the series and introduce a brand new Robin. In a move motivated more by media buzz than common sense, Jason Connery (son of Sir Sean) was brought in to take up Praed's bow and arrow. The producers all but admit he was cast due to his famous name rather than thespian ability. Connery, despite his nice hair, often came across as more wooden that the trees around him. He was fine with the action sequences, but the romance scenes with Marion could be excruciating. Along with the inferior leading man the third series also suffered a downturn in overall quality. Carpenter took a backseat, handing much of scripting duties over to other writers. As a result the third series was more uneven than the previous two, dodgy episodes such as ‘The Inheritance’ and ‘Cromm Cruac’ clashing with classics like ‘The Sheriff of Nottingham’ and ‘Herne’s Son’.
After one series with Connery under the hood the show was cancelled due to Goldcrest, one of the key financers, being forced to pull out of the venture after one cinematic flop too many. But Robin of Sherwood remains a lyrical, elegant and emotional series. A true unsung classic of our times. It has not been forgotten, it will never be forgotten.

Having seen ‘Mairon’ spelled ‘Marion’ one too many times, I propose 1980′s Judi Trott (Lady Marion from Robin of Sherwood) to play Sauron’s fair form.

Armenian Assembly Welcomes to Washington, D.C. the Armenia-U.S. Parliamentary Friendship Group
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) welcomed a delegation of the Armenia-U.S. Parliamentary Friendship Group during their trip to Washington, D.C. The delegation was in Washington for a series of meetings, including a roundtable discussion with Assembly Board of Trustees Co-Chair Anthony Barsamian, Board Member Annie Totah, and Executive Director Bryan Ardouny, as well as Armenian National Institute (ANI) Director Dr. Rouben Adalian.
The delegation of Armenian Parliamentarians is led by Arpine Hovhannisyan, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia and Chairwoman of the Armenia-U.S. Parliamentary Friendship Group. She is joined by Parliamentarians Armen Ashotyan, Edmon Marukyan, Aghvan Vardanyan and Naira Zohrabyan. This working visit comes six months after U.S. Members of Congress visited Armenia and Artsakh, as part of a U.S. Congressional Delegation.
“We are thrilled that this first trip has been made by so many of the Members of Parliament, and we look forward to many more,” said Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues Co-Chair Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA), an Armenian American who participated in the U.S. Congressional Delegation in September 2017.
Throughout the week, Members of Parliament met with Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Ranking Member and Armenian Caucus Co-Vice Chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Armenian Caucus Vice Co-Chair Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), Foreign Affairs Committee Members Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) Co-Chair Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), and House Democracy Partnership Program Commission Ranking Member and founder Rep. David Price (D-NC).
During their conversation with Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, they discussed U.S.-Armenia relations, the crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, and Armenia’s acceptance of refugees from Iraq and Syria. Chairman Royce stated: “Armenia and the United States enjoy a valuable and growing relationship. In particular, Armenia’s contributions to counterterrorism efforts and its assistance to Syrian refugees have been crucial. But there are still many opportunities to further strengthen our relationship on security and human rights priorities in the region. I look forward to doing just that.”
On March 7, the Assembly joined the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues in co-hosting a reception on Capitol Hill welcoming the Armenian Parliamentary Delegation, alongside the Embassy of Armenia to the United States and other Armenian organizations. Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), Rep. Dave Trott (R-MI), and Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) were in attendance, in addition to Reps. Judy Chu (D-CA), Jim Costa (D-CA), Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Dina Titus (D-NV), and Paul Tonko (D-NY).
At the reception, Members of Congress offered remarks welcoming the Armenian Parliamentary delegation and sharing their thoughts on U.S.-Armenia relations.
Rep. Pallone touched upon their earlier discussions on a number of priorities of the Armenian Caucus to help improve relations with Armenia and Artsakh. He described this visit as “an opportunity to talk about substantive issues that we can make a difference on.” He continued: “I cannot overemphasize how important it is for us to go to Armenia, for them to come here, and for us to exchange ideas because that can really make a difference in terms of the future of the relationship between our two countries.”
Rep. Trott spoke about the current House Resolution, H.Res.220, which reaffirms the Armenian Genocide. He proudly shared that this resolution currently has more co-sponsors than any Armenian Genocide resolution in the past seven years. He then went on to note the importance of strong U.S.-Armenia relations.
“When President Trump talks about America First, I agree with that but for me, what that means is friends like Armenia. We need to have a strong relationship. We need to have you know that we are there to help you, and we are there to trade with you, and we are there to work with you to make sure that your citizens have the best dream and life they can, because that will help America more than anything else. So, we want to make sure the Administration and State Department continue to understand how important this relationship is, and I’ll do everything I can to accomplish that,” Rep. Trott said.
Rep. Speier recalled their meeting earlier that day with Leader Pelosi, and the important dialogue between the legislators.
“We met this afternoon with the Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, and I said to her ‘this is the new Armenia, and the new Armenia is all about moving to this parliamentary structure to create greater democracy and we want to be part of seeing Armenia succeed in this 21st century,” Rep. Speier said. “We need to find a way to create an environment where all of those in Armenia can thrive and can succeed. One of the messages that our community from Armenia brought was one of finding a way to create greater IT opportunities. So we are going to look at how we can do that. We want to support this democracy. We are thrilled that this first trip has been made by so many of the Members of Parliament, and we look forward to many more.”
Commenting on the United States’ strong relationship with Armenia and Artsakh, Rep. Chu said: “I’m so happy to be celebrating the strong and enduring U.S.-Armenia relationship. Ours is a true friendship, based on shared values and goals. That is why I’m proud to support economic and military aid to Armenia, and to support Armenians in Artsakh in their fight for peace. And it is my sincere hope that, through our continued efforts together, we can finally put the American government on the right side of history and acknowledge the reality of the Armenian Genocide once and for all. None of this would be possible without the support and hard work of the Congressional Armenian Caucus and groups like the Armenian Assembly of America.”
The Armenian Assembly hosted a round table discussion, where its leadership exchanged ideas with the Armenian Parliamentary Delegation and Armenian Ambassador to the U.S. Grigor Hovhannissian on a broad range of issues, including its work with Congress and the State Department. The Assembly referenced the first U.S. Congressional Delegation to Armenia, organized by the Assembly, and the importance of this mutual exchange. ANI Director Dr. Adalian then discussed his work at the Institute, and the importance to educate Armenians and Americans on the history of the Armenian Genocide, and the resolutions and policies enacted as a result.
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding and awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a non-partisan, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership organization.
