Robin is in danger when the Sheriff tries a spot of blackmail

The Sheriff learns that the Abbot is guilty of an heretical act as the drama starring Jonas Armstrong, Richard Armitage, Keith Allen, David Harewood and Joanne Froggatt continues. Seeing an opportunity, the Sheriff blackmails the religious dignitary and forces him to help bring down Robin Hood.

Robin and the Outlaws arrive in Locksley to hear the Abbot demanding that the villagers turn Robin in. Tuck is determined to confront the Abbot but is arrested.

The Sheriff rides in with a tortured Tuck, announcing that if the villagers don't want the same fate, they must turn Hood in.

The Sheriff then sends the Abbot to persuade Tuck to betray Robin. But Tuck remains resolute and asks why the Abbot has abandoned the fight for good. Tuck is amazed by the answer. The Abbot's heresy is that he is translating the Bible into English – an act which will change the known world. Even for such a prize, Tuck won't betray Robin. The Abbot has no alternative, Tuck must die. Robin, however, has other ideas...

As Tuck is about to be publicly put on the rack, Robin and the Outlaws orchestrate a dramatic rescue attempt. In the confusion, the Outlaws and Tuck escape.

Tuck explains why the Abbot is seemingly working with the Sheriff. Robin, Much and Little John confront the Sheriff and Robin appeals to the Abbot to tell the truth but he refuses and they are arrested.

The gang are tied to the stake and the despicable Sheriff holds aloft a flaming torch. Will Robin and the Outlaws manage to escape their terrible fate?

The Sheriff of Nottingham is played by Keith Allen; the Abbott by David Hayman; Robin Hood by Jonas Armstrong; Much by Sam Troughton; Allan A Dale by Joe Armstrong; Tuck by David Harewood and Kate by Joanne Froggatt.

Gary Lineker presents live coverage of the third round of the Masters from Augusta, Georgia. South African Trevor Immelman was a rare wire-to-wire winner last year.

However, such are the infamous challenges of the Augusta National course that none of the leaders will be allowing themselves to think of wearing the famous green jacket at this stage.

Tiger Woods will be the centre of attention at his first big event since returning from knee surgery. The all-conquering American has a special affection for the Masters, as it is the tournament that provided the first of his 14 major triumphs, 12 years ago.
