Maid Marian Series 1 Release! News Posted by John Hoare on 10th February 2006, 01:06 OH. MY. GOD. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this? For more on the episodes, see Barrington’s Maid Marian Programme Guide – although anyone who went to DJ this year will remember a couple of the eps. According to DVD Reviewer, we’re even due some extras: Commentary on Episode 1 by Tony Robinson – Oh, for a commentary on all six episodes. What an ungrateful bastard I am. I’m still thrilled. Quiz: Written by Tony Robinson – Eureka love their quizzes, don’t they? Still, with Tony Robinson involved, it should be fun. But not as much fun as… Maid Marian Karaoke – …THIS. No doubt this will be the centrepiece of many a drunken party throughout the land this year. And quite right too. Trailer – Please be an original broadcast trailer, not just a pointless one for a Series 2 release. How the Germans Saw It – a short compilation of clips, or the Japanese The End? No idea, but should be fun for a limited amount of time. An exclusive Booklet: Written by Tony Robinson and drawn by Paul Cemmick – Aceness, as Ian would say. But I just can’t carry that off, so I’ll settle for “good”. Of course, deleted scenes, outtakes, and all that guff would have been nice, but what’s on offer is more than I would have expected, frankly. And we’re getting one of the best TV shows ever made on DVD – it doesn’t need the children’s qualification. Beautifully written, acted, and produced – and with a feel quite unlike anything else I’ve ever seen. 20th March is the release date – the week before the Region 2 release of Red Dwarf VIII, in fact. Now, all they have to do is release Woof!, and I’m a happy man…
Maid Marian Karaoke Hurrah! And just hurrah in general. My play.com preorder list is looking scary over the next couple of months…
Brilliant! I loved Maid Marian – in fact, the only bad thing about it, for me, was Maid Marian (Kate Lonergan) herself. I had two comic books(drawn by the aforementioned Paul Cemmick) – one was The Whitish Knight, god knows what the other was, or where they are now – and I’ve still got two vids. This looks like an *excellent* release.
I currently have five of the comics in my possession (including the Whitish Knight), lent to me by a housemate…
I had “The Whitish Knight” and “How the Band Got Together”. Brilliantly drawn with an incredible amount of detail. Almost as good as the show.
Yep, his character is the one who sings the songs. Although “sings” is perhaps the wrong word – “raps” would be more appropriate…
So once this is released I assume you’ll have a review to place under Danny’s entry in your Parallel Universe section?
