The Robin in the 1980s BBC series was far more complex and conflicted, IIRC.<br /><br />I'm not sure if they meant at first for Guy to be as conflicted - seem to recall at first he was just the usual villain type, then he kinda developed. Maybe because of RA's chemistry with Lucy Griffths.

Michael Praed was the first Robin, then Jason Connery. Gisborne in that series was a straight out villain, IIRC. Armitage's Guy is far more nuanced - it's definitely worth watching for him, though other elements (such as accuracy) arent' so good and Robin Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636189059910920978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10391176.post-17330321820298393092009-09-03T08:18:46.512-07:002009-09-03T08:18:46.512-07:00Yum.

Only the price has kept me back. :-)Annette McCleavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198000578410007493noreply@blogger.com
