So what's on your book shelf? It doesn't have to be books, let us know about videos, DVD's, audio tapes or any collectables that you may have. The only proviso is that it must have a link (however tenuous) to the series. Comments are those generally of the editors AF and MS.

From the UK
The Adventures of Robin Hood - The Complete Series Distributed by Network for Carlton International Media. This is it, the complete collection, all 143 episodes, a must for all. If you haven't got a DVD player, then this is the reason why you need one. Prices seem to vary, but it can be found in major high street music/video retailers/online stores. Enjoy! (MS)


From Australia
The Adventures of Robin Hood Distributed by RBC Entertainment of Australia. Three episodes from the first series; The Intruders, Richard the Lionheart, and The Byzantine Treasure. Disappointing that this DVD only has 3 episodes. (MS)

The following DVD's are distributed by Magna Pacific. All three are colourised compilations from the original series with new music and soundtrack. Our thanks go to David Blake and Anna who provided copies of the covers.
