The BBC is filming a new 13-episode series of Robin Hood, which will air in Autumn.

There’s more info here, as well. Robin will be played by newcomer Jonas Armstrong. Keith Allen will play the Sheriff of Nottingham, Lucy Griffiths plays Maid Marian and Sam Troughton (grandson of Doctor Who‘s Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, who played Robin in the 1953 BBC series) is playing Robin’s manservant Much.

They’re spending 8 million pounds on it, with financial assistance coming from BBC America — so I’m guessing it will probably air over here on that channel.

Post edited to correct dumb mistake.

Just got off the phone with the powers-that-be at the KCRF.

They won’t be hiring Bard’s Bouts this year (despite our being a runner-up for “Best Stage Show” last year), because “there just isn’t the budget for it.”

I hit ’em with a counterproposal (that some of you are aware of), and he’s at least nominally interested…but the provisions he’s putting on it (hat only, street work and all shows at the Berm) makes it very, very unattractive.

Lot to think about.
