TV revival? Tony’ll be maid up!

IN TALKS: Robinson

SIR Tony Robinson says he is in talks about a reboot of Maid Marian And Her Merry Men.

The BBC series, a reimagining of the Robin Hood tale, with Marian leading the band of Merry Men, aired from 1989 to 1994.

Written and created by Sir Tony, 74, it collected several awards, including the 1990 Bafta for Best Children’s show.

Sir Tony said: “We are talking about the possibility of rebooting it for a modern audience.

“It would be very, very different. It would be more Fleabag than the initial Maid Marian And Her Merry Men. But those talks are taking place.”

The series, which starred Kate Lonergan as Maid Marian, is being shown on BritBox as part of the Old School Classics collection.

Episodes from past TV hits like The Borrowers, Grange Hill and Rentaghost are also featured in the Old School collection.
