Robbing Hood

Bookending the final episode of the last series of Doctor Who on BBC ONE were some short teasers for the Beeb’s new Robin Hood drama starting in the Autumn.
However, an evil deed worthy of the Sheriff of Nottingham befell the production last week when master tapes were stolen from offices in Hungary where filming is taking place.
As if to prove the good-conquers-over-all theme of the stories, the tapes were recovered by Hungarian police yesterday, but not before scenes had been re-shot on location.
All that seems missing from the story are a few arrows flying about the place. I wonder if the plot will feature in a future episode? Or maybe it was an inside job by BBC Wales, jealous of Locksley’s gang stealing their prime time slot?
