Robin of Sherwood (1984)

The Hooded Man, as portrayed by Michael Praed who came on to TV Screens 
in 1984, was a different Robin Hood. The haunting musical score composed 
and performed by Irish folk/rock group Clannad and authentic period drama 
gained a new generation of viewers. Robin, a poor yeoman of Loxley village, 
had two new friends: Nasir, who like Little John, first fought Robin then 
joined him; and Herne the Hunter, Robin's mystical mentor akin to 
King Arthur's Merlin, who gives him a new longbow and protective sword 
called Albion. Jason Connery played Robin in the third and final series, 
which meant a change of character where Robert of Huntingdon becomes Robin. 

The mixing of traditional ballads with magic and sorcery brought the series a cult following.

What is PAL / NTSC? 
Without getting too technical, it is to do with frame rates.  If you try 
to play a PAL DVD on a non PAL compatible DVD player, it won't work.  PAL is the format used 
in most countries around the world except France (SECAM) and USA/CANADA (NTSC).  If you live 
in a non-PAL country, please ensure that both your DVD Player and TV are capable of handling 
this format BEFORE bidding as refunds will not be given for this. 

What is Regional Coding? 
Due to the staggered release dates of movies, DVD's have "regions" around the world.  The 
US / Canada is Region 1, UK / Europe Region 2, Australasia Region 4 etc.  Some DVD's are marked
Region 0 or ALL.  This means they are Multi-region or Any-region.  These will play on ANY 
player, although you still need to check for PAL/NTSC.  Most DVD's we sell are Region 2 PAL 
so please ensure your player is compatible.  Some DVD players can be hacked to play any 
region (normally via a code on your remote).  Do a web search for "DVD region hacks" then 
find your player and follow the instructions.

One more note: Just because a DVD is coded for a specific region doesn't mean it will play in all countries assigned that region. There is the added layer of incompatibility imposed by the great and wonderful powers that be. You also have to make sure the video formatting is the same. For example, both England and Japan are included in Region 2. Unfortunately, England users the PAL video formatting while Japan is NTSC. In order to play a disc intended for England in Japan you will also have to have equipment that recognizes the video format. There are converters that will permit the mixing of PAL and NTSC so if you plan on using discs from different countries consider investing in such an additional box. [source]
