Help Robin to be heard

There are so many retellings of the Robin Hood legend. He’s inspired authors and screen-writers alike. For fans, including myself, one of the most loved reimaginings of the legend is the TV series, Robin of Sherwood. I’m a late convert to the series, which originally aired on ITV in the early 1980’s. Since I was too little to remember the series, I was introduced to it last year, when I had the honour of attending the premier of the first ROS fully dramatized episode to make it onto audio. It featured all the original cast, and was radio drama at its best. For me, it was doubly important, as the TV series is very visual, and for someone like myself with no sight at all, it meant I missed out on some of the experience. Now, the plan is to produce another four adventures on audio, but this can’t be done without the help of regular people like you and me. The company producing the episodes, Spiteful Puppet, are a hundred pre-orders short of the amount needed before they can begin production. So why help? Firstly because it’s a damn good series. If you’re a fan of Robin Hood, then it would be a crime to let this project die. Maybe you love radio drama. In which case, you won’t find any better. Or maybe, like me, audio is your main way of enjoying a story, and you think this series should be enjoyed by all, blind and fully sighted alike, in any way possible. I’ve preordered my copy. Why not do the same. You can preorder the full box set on CD or download by visiting the following link.
