The Legend of Robin Hood: A BBC Radio Collection: Drama, discussion and storytelling about the legendary heroic outlaw

"An epic full-cast play about Robin Hood, plus an episode of In Our Time setting him in his historical context and four dramatic interpretations of his story Robin Hood has captured the English imagination for centuries. His tale has been told in ballads, novels, plays, TV shows and films – and with each retelling, it has evolved and transformed. We know Robin today as a forest-dwelling outlaw who led a gang of merry men, loved the beautiful Maid Marian and stole from the rich to give to the poor. But there are many facets to this folkloric hero, as this collection reveals. Featuring drama, documentary and monologue, it blends fiction with fact to take a thrilling, immersive look at the man and the myth. The Legend of Robin Hood – Deep in England’s great Greenwood, a hooded master bowman and his band of faithful companions live outside the law, fighting to right wrongs and defend poor Saxon peasants against their cruel Norman lords... John Fletcher’s action-packed play draws on the original medieval ballads to chart Robin Hood’s adventures, from May Day revels in Sherwood Forest to crusading battles in the Holy Land and life-or-death struggles with sinister enemies. Starring John Nettles as Robin, with Gerry Hinks as Little John, Michael Tudor Barnes as Friar Tuck, Carolyn Backhouse as Maid Marian, Norman Rodway as the Sherriff, Peter Meakin as Will Scarlett and Tamsin Grieg as Alice. In Our Time: Robin Hood – Melvyn Bragg and guests Stephen Knight, Thomas Hahn and Juliette Wood discuss the malleable myth of this most iconic of outlaws, asking why his story has gone through so many changes and where the truth really lies. Was Robin a yeoman, an aristocrat, an anarchist – or the figment of a collective imagination? The Adventures of Robin Hood – In this quartet of tales, told from the points of view of four key characters and performed by distinguished actors, we learn how young Robin became an outlaw; how Friar Tuck’s outrage over the King and the Crusades led him to turn renegade, how a prioress’s greed led to her attempt to seize Robin’s land, and how love changed the course of Maid Marian’s life. Included are ‘Robin Hood’s Story’ by Adam Thorpe (read by James Frain), ‘Friar Tuck’s Story’ by Philippa Gregory (read by John Sessions), ‘The Prioress’s Story’ by Wally K Daly (read by Imelda Staunton) and ‘Maid Marian’s Story’ by Sara Maitland (read by Anna Massey). © 2026 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

Wuhan

"A multi-stranded historical epic set in China in 1937, when Wuhan stood alone against a whirlwind of war and violence. Everyone's heard of Wuhan in connection with Covid-19. But 80 years ago it was equally famous as the first place on earth to decisively defeat fascism. In 1937 Japan invaded China, slaughtering 20 million Chinese – mainly civilians. As vast swathes of the country fell to the invaders, Wuhan was appointed wartime capital and symbol of Chinese resistance. China, a medieval society, began a desperately needed reorganisation – transforming itself militarily, educationally, medically and culturally. Their heroic efforts in Wuhan halted the Japanese. Weaving together a multitude of narratives, Wuhan is a historical fiction epic that pulls no punches: the heart-in-mouth story of a peasant family forced onto a thousand-mile refugee death-march; the story of Lao She – China's greatest writer – leaving his family in a war-zone to assist with the propaganda effort in Wuhan; the hellish battlefields of the Sino-Japanese war; the approaching global war seen through a host of colourful characters – from Chiang Kai-Shek, China's nationalist leader, to Peter Fleming, British journalist based in Wuhan and a prototype for his younger brother Ian Fleming's James Bond. 2021 Head of Zeus"
