The following is a list of the episodes of the BBC television series ''Maid Marian and her Merry Men''. ==Series one== Series One is the most faithful to the original legends being parodied and probably the series with the fewest anachronisms. Originally transmitted from 16 November to 21 December 1989, with ''How The Band Got Together'' repeated on 20 April 2001. #How The Band Got Together: A young villager, Marian, is enraged by the treatment given to her pet tadpole Edwina by the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham and his henchmen. Together with cowardly tailor Robin of Kensington, Rastafarian black marketeer Barrington, congenital moron Rabies and violent dwarf Little Ron, she forms a "ruthless band of freedom fighters". Robin earns his more famous nickname of "Robin Hood" by being told to pull his hood over his head when threatening to set fire to King John's underpants. #Robert The Incredible Chicken: Marian attempts to teach the gang to shoot longbows, a skill Robin is incapable of learning. Robin's arrow is wide of the target but gives the Sheriff a near-death experience adding to the belief that Robin is a wonderful marksman and the leader of the gang. This results in a plan by the Baddies to stage an archery contest to trap Robin. Unable to resist the boost to his (false!) ego, Robin enters... in disguise as a large chicken and giving his name as "Robert, Robert the Incredible Chicken" when asked. Marian saves the day just before Robin's brilliant subterfuge is discovered. Robin's disguise is similar to the one (as a stork) worn by the cartoon fox Robin Hood in the 1973 Disney film. The Baddies still believe that Marion should stay in her kitchen, and that Robin is the leader of the gang. #A Game Called John: Pancake Day celebrations make King John realise that he isn't recognised by the people of Worksop, and he therefore commissions the Sheriff to come up with ways of being remembered. The Sheriff's suggestion is that he invent something – a task promptly delegated to the Sheriff, who comes up with a new game to be called "John". This game suffers teething problems when the large number of balls required to play simply roll off the table, hence the requirement for green cloth. The cloth is stolen by the Merry Men for their uniforms and the Sheriff gives the rights to the game to a local peasant, mistakenly believing the man's name to be "Stinker". The new owner of the game, however, is actually known as "Snooker". #The Miracle of St Charlene: The Merry Men need to build a bridge to cross the river in order to steal from the rich, a task which is not made any easier by Robin's literal adherence to Marian's instructions. Meanwhile, King John's uncle, the Duke Of Dagenham, has died, leaving him only a hot water bottle, which the Sheriff is to sell for a grossly inflated price. Of course, the contents of the bottle prove a nice nest egg... #The Sharp End of a Cow: Robin's popularity with the peasants has driven King John to distraction, resulting in his firing the Sheriff (who promptly goes undercover) and chasing the outlaws himself. Likewise, Robin's early-warning system for the Merry Men's hideout has driven Marian to distraction as well. #The Whitish Knight: A mysterious white knight is seen around Worksop. Well, perhaps he's more of a creamy-beigy sort of colour. Or whitish, at any rate. Is it King John's brother, returning from the crusades? And what is to be the fate of Rip-Off, the giant teddy bear? (This episode features Forbes Collins in a dual role as King John and his brother Richard.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Maid Marian and Her Merry Men episodes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
