I’ve tried to like the BBC’s new series Robin Hood. I know some people didn’t like it, but I thought the first episode had some redeeming features and I think I’ve been proved right, because they were removed for the second episode. I grudgingly admire the way they’ve sought to hide the poor quality of the story by distracting the viewer with truly awful cuts in editing, but it’s not working. Take the shot above for example.

The Sheriff, being Keith Allen, just laughs and sneers because he thinks Robin doesn’t have the guts to kill him. He’s probably right, despite all the fighting no-one’s died yet. He signals to a soldier sneaking up behind Robin. In an instant Robin turns round, shoots the guard dead and returns to threaten a now cowering Sheriff. The problem is that he didn’t kill the guard.
