Some seek to divide. Diversity is strength. Robin Hood and the outlaws. (Merry People of All Genders.) #RobinHood
In 1605, Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury referred to Guy Fawkes and the other Gunpowder Plotters as "Robin Hoods". #RememberThe5thOfNovember Happy Bonfire Night. #GuyFawkes #RobinHood #VforVendetta
And here is my article on #RobinHood #comicbooks including a look at #VforVendetta boldoutlaw.com/hidden-grove/…
I saw @iplayrockymovie at the @RegalMovies Mystery Movie. Great film and the audience was really responsive too. As I left the cinema I heard someone talking on their phone and saying “Best. Mystery. Movie. Ever.” I expect a big hit and deservedly so.
Happy Halloween! Robin Hood might be about spring and summer, but ever notice how well the #RobinHood legend suits #Halloween? The whole #trickortreat thing? #HappyHalloween
#RIPPatrickStewart - a true legend.
Celebrate #StarTrek's #FirstContactDay as @Siskoid and I talk about #Picard as #RobinHood. fireandwaterpodcast.com/podc… And Picard is right. He's not from Nottingham. @SirPatStew was born in Mirfield, Yorkshire - a stone's throw from Robin Hood's grave at Kirklees Priory.

Sandy Frank has passed away. He was known for bringing "Battle of the Planets" to Western audiences, as well as other Japanese series like "Star Force" and "Time of the Apes."
I met my wife because of our mutual love of BOTP, so I'm eternally grateful to him.

The 2006-9 TV #RobinHood was supposedly born on October 14. We celebrate that and the show’s 20th anniversary year with a fully revised and expanded set of articles boldoutlaw.com/bbcrobinhood/ #RobinHoodBBC #BBCRobinHood
Expanded review for #BBCRobinHood coming soon. Happy 20th anniversary to #RobinHood for the PlayStation Generation.
Exciting news that the bid from Mondas might be accepted. #DoctorWho. (This makes me despair more for the future of the arts than just one show.)
An artificial intelligence-generated episode of 'Doctor Who' was “pretty good,” according to BBC Director General Matt Brittin.
Brittin, who used to run Google EMEA, revealed that somebody had recently sent him a 50-minute ep of the BBC’s long-running sci-fi franchise, which was completely AI-generated, and today he refused to slam it.
“Pretty good” was Brittin’s verdict of the ep of the show that has been running on the BBC for six decades and will return with a new creative team in a couple of years’ time. “I mean it’s not going to replace humans but we’ll come on to that,” he countered.

And yes the fact it filmed in my hometown of #HamOnt is nice, but as a scholar of the legend I can say it faithfully captures the tale better than a lot of versions set in the Middle Ages.
