robin-artwork-smallThere’s a good chance that the recent audio adventure The Knights of the Apocalypse won’t be a one-off return for the cast of Robin of Sherwood.

A brand-new audio series of 4 x 60-minute episodes , with the original cast (including  2 episodes each for Michael Praed as Robin of Loxley and Jason Connery as Robert of Huntingdon) is anticipated to arrive in summer 2017 courtesy of ITV Studios Global Entertainment and Spiteful Puppet.

As producers Barnaby Eaton-Jones and Iain Meadows explain:

“This is not a charity production in the sense that acquiring the licence, hiring studios, paying professional rates and even the amount needed for using Clannad’s theme music is staggering. A production of this nature, to do it right, will not be cheap; neither do I think anyone would want it to be – it means too much to us.

“With that in mind, the box set of 4 x 60min episodes will cost £40 – which is £10 per episode; still incredible value we believe. The other thing to point out, and this is a major point, is that we need 2000 orders to make this work…The sad fact is that if we can’t get those numbers, the project won’t happen – at least as a full-cast dramatisation. Also, the quicker we can get all the orders we need, the quicker we can start to give you the details about the production.

“We understand that this is huge, but we have enormous faith. Think of it as crowdfunding, but this time the crowdfunding site doesn’t take a substantial slice and every penny goes into the production, so we can make it something you’ll cherish and want to listen to again and again. Or think of it as a Christmas present to yourself.

“Like we did before, we’ll keep you updated every step of the way, we just need you to support us again.

“A heartfelt THANK YOU from your Producers. Have a Merry (Men) Christmas and here’s to 2017!!”
