Robin Hood series 3 : Video clips

"Gisborne!"

Robin Hood (Jonas Armstrong) has returned from the Holy Land. Still mourning the death of his wife Marian, he has only one aim - vengeance on Gisborne, her murderer. He goes to Locksley village to find him.

"Robin Hood is dead"

Sir Jasper, Prince John's envoy (Lee Ross), has come to Nottingham. Prince John is angry at the failure of the Sheriff (Keith Allen) to kill King Richard in the Holy Land, so he has levied a tax on the Sheriff - of 1000 crowns a month. The Sheriff is initially aghast, but then realises he has no choice but to pay the tax.

Meanwhile, Tuck (David Harewood) has found Robin Hood, unconscious, seemingly dead.

In this short extract from the end of the episode, Robin, helped by Tuck, has broken into the castle to rescue Allan, Much and Little John, who were about to be executed by the Sheriff. Two of Robin's arrows have pinned Gisborne to the door of the castle, and he goes to confront his enemy.

"Hello, sister"

King Richard's death has been proclaimed, and Prince John is to be crowned. Isabella returns to Locksley Manor late at night to find Guy, now an outlaw, waiting for her.

The next morning at Locksley Manor...

 

Episode 9 - A Dangerous Deal

 

Most of Guy's scenes in this episode take place in the castle dungeon where he awaits his execution, having been sentenced to death by his sister Isabella, the new Sheriff of Nottingham.

With him in the dungeon is Meg (Holliday Grainger), a young woman who has been thrown into jail by Isabella's husband. Initially antagonistic towards each other, over the course of several scenes Guy and Meg draw closer.

 

"What are you staring at?"

In this first scene, Meg is thrown into the dungeon.

 

"Just leave it"

Their sniping at each other continues...

 

"Are you scared?"

In this scene, their talk turns to Guy's impending execution.

 

"You must eat"

Isabella has now released Meg from the dungeon. But Meg secretly returns with some food for Guy.

The next morning, Guy is led out to the castle courtyard to be executed. Guy and Meg's story plays out over the remainder of the episode, a moving counterpoint to the heroics of Robin and his gang.

This isn't the first time that Richard Armitage and Holliday Grainger have worked together. In the 2002 drama Sparkhouse, she played Lisa, the daughter of Carol Bolton, with whom his character John Standring was in love.
