Mad Madam M here! Crystal is currently typing her fingers to the bone in order to make a deadline, so I thought I’d try to step in and provide a bit of frivolous entertainment for everyone. I recently discovered – and quickly became obsessed – with the BBC series Robin Hood. As one columnist explained, “on the face of it, the BBC’s Robin Hood is a terrible television programme. Jonas Armstrong’s Hood looks like a member of a boy band that got lost in the woods after a team-building weekend and has been forced to live on nothing but hair gel. His arch enemy Guy of Gisbourne is essentially a goth, brooding and troubled, tormented by both Maid Marian’s rejection of him and the realisation that the Sisters of Mercy will never again tread the boards of Nottingham University Student Union. Historical accuracy, or even a vague effort to look and sound medieval, does not come into it.” In spite of all that, or perhaps because of it…who knows, I find the show absolutely delightful. So, without further ado, I present one of my favorite scenes from the series!
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for some Eddie Izzard fun as I, the Mad Madam M, continue my guest blogging reign of terror! Mwaaaahaaaahaaaahaaaaaa!

Beware: This Robin Hood is addictive, but AWESOME! You might want to wait until you are deadline free before starting!!
