I bought this for my niece as it is one of only a few childrens' programmes that confronts sexual stereotypes. Instead of Robin Hood being the hero, he is actually a bit dim and useless. Marian(the woman) is actually the smart, witty, skilful one. I think it is really important that characters like this exist for girls as it may open their eyes to new possibilities outside normal sexual stereotypes. Good on Tony Robinson for writing this. It is smart, stupid, funny and interesting and I would definitely recommend it!
