The Merry Men of  the blasted moors of West Yorkshire and Sun-caressed Mersey Riviera team up to take on another wibbly-wobbly man of folklore and legend - Robin Hood.
 
Having learnt nothing from their tussle with King Arthur back in the Leadership series except to get on board a knowledgeable expert in the form of Ant from 'The Next Level' podcast to look at:
 
  • Robin Hood - class hero, bandit or national liberator ?
  • What is good Kingship and does it involve invading the Middle East ?
  • The many intrigues of Robin of Sherwood TV series
  • Robin Hood analogues including Che Guevara, the Water Margin and William Tell
  • Alan Rickman and the Heroes dramatic beats
  • Robin Hood in comics from Green Arrow to Outlaw and back again
  • Merry men and the foco theory
  • Legends of Zelda (and Neil)
  • The Death of Legends
So pull on your tights, put a feather in your cap, watch out for the Sheriff and join us!
