Tapes recovered – puns ensue Sep 09

Excellent news from Hungary where the new BBC series Robin Hood is being Maid. Most of the missing master tapes have been recovered. They were stolen a few weeks ago, although it’s not clear whether it was a simple act of Robin or whether some Guy was Hoodwinked. No doubt the producers were not Merry Men and turned the air Scarlet when they found out, although they said it was only a Little problem; they Will be feeling Much better now. Some scenes have already been remounted; for contrivance’s sake, I hope at least one was in A Dale.

You will note the lack of Friar Tuck puns. That’s because the character isn’t in the new series, presumably due to lobbying from the Reverend Spooner.

Robin Hood stolen Aug 28

Tapes of the BBC’s new Robin Hood series have been stolen.

Rumours has it that the culprits are trying to blackmail to BBC, but an email from the thieves leaked to this blog reveals the truth:

“We rob from the rich BBC to give to the poor. We will be distributing the tapes to TV stations in Africa and Eastern Europe that can’t afford quality drama. And to ITV1.”

Badoom tish.

I hope this is only the minor problem the BBC claims as I’m very Much looking forward to this series.
