Robin Hood

Keith Allen - Sheriff of Nottingham
Keith Allen - Sheriff of Nottingham

Robin Hood's nemesis

Keith Allen takes on the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. The biggest baddie that has ever lived in our county.

The Sheriff

"I think [my role is] a cross between Blackadder and Russ Abbot."
Keith Allen

"I think [my role is] a cross between Blackadder and Russ Abbot... I wear a lot of dead animals around my neck that's for sure."

Missing tooth

"I had it knocked out in one of the fight scenes by Guy of Gisbourne, who's on my side. His elbow took my tooth out. Dominic Minghella the writer, liked it so much he's included it in the last episode."

Forests of Hungary

"The forests in Hungary are the closest that you would ever get to what forests were like in England during medieval times...

"You could walk into a forest in Hungary and carry on walking for three days and not come out the other side."
