Am I alone in thinking the BBC's Robin Hood series should just end now? If killing Marian (Lucy Griffiths) at the end of season 2 wasn't bad enough, it will also be competing with Ridley Scott's take on the English legend, entitled Nottingham -- with Russell Crowe as a good Sheriff, Sienna Miller as Marian and now Sam Riley (Control) is rumoured as the bad Robin. Suddenly, the BBC's Keith Allen and Jonas Armstrong look rather feeble, don't they?But here's the biggest indication Robin Hood's third season might be its last. SPOILER ALERT. It's been reported that Keith Allen has filmed his death scene as the Sheriff. If true, how can Robin Hood continue without Marian and the Sheriff? I suppose it's possible, but the whole show is moving further and further away from the legend -- probably because the cast are fed up with spending months filming in Budapest. And the Doctor Who team think they've got it tough filming in Wales!
SPOILER ENDS. If true, I don't think Robin Hood should continue into a fourth year, no matter how great the ratings are. It's time to call it a day after the third season, I think -- which I hoped they'd realize when lovely Lucy Griffiths asked to be written out.
