The move would mean BBC Wales will lose internal control of the Tiger Aspect-produced series to BBC Scotland. It was also reported by The Stage that writer Sally Wainwright (At Home With The Braithwaites) has already been given the go-ahead to reinvent Robin Hood for its fourth year:
"The BBC has asked me to take over Robin Hood in a way Russell [T. Davies] does on Doctor Who. They have a third series going out in the spring which I have had nothing to do with, but they have asked me to reinvent it and they want it to be very different, which is why they have come to me. It's going to be a completely different show. I want to model Robin Hood more on Doctor Who, in terms of quality of script and quality of direction."The question is: with major changes in cast and location increasingly likely, would it make sense to just recast the whole thing and start from scratch?
