  1. Yes, I do! Not the most convincing actor for the role, in my opinion, but it as all good, rollicking fun a la Three Musketeers or Robin Hood!

    Thanks for the link, I might take a look 😀

  2. I remember the series, it was not that great from memory. Got to say I preferred Robin of Sherwood and the much earlier The Flashing Blade.

  3. Here in the U.S. Disney once had a series about a bunch of smugglers in England led by a church vicar that was titled "Scarecrow." It was a very entertaining series. I wonder if there are any episodes on You Tube.
