Movie Reviews of Robin of Sherwood (Complete Series 2)
Movie Review: Yes, these discs work in the USA!
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone else already noted how great the original series was... Let's focus on something else: These UK Nettwork DVDs!
First, I'm in the USA, and want to report that YES, these discs DO work in the USA! They really are Region 0 (there are lots of conflicting reports) which means they'll load and play in any region-locked DVD player anywhere in the world.
Next - they are PAL, though, not NTSC, so you must have a DVD player and TV that can display them. Most current DVD players can handle this fine, with some converting the output to NTSC and others simply passing the PAL to the TV. Many modern TVs will handle a PAL signal, but not all.
Finally, although they are "digitally remastered", the video quality isn't great. I have a feeling the source film (yes, this was shot on film) has degraded somewhat, and this is the best you can get. The audio is amazing, however, except for the one commentary track that was recorded to the surround channels instead of the main ones...

Due to Prince John's imminent arrival in Nottingham, Gisburne begins to repair the castle walls. When Prince John arrives, he brings with him a mysterious masked prisoner, who turns out to be a man returned from the dead.
The Children of Israel:
The Sheriff has borrowed money from the rich Jew Joshua de Talmont, who makes his living as a 'money-lender'. Reluctant to return the money when the time is due, The Sheriff makes Gisburne arrange a riot in which all Jews in Nottingham will be killed. Gisburne, however, has got a few plans of his own, having secretly fallen in love with de Talmont's beautiful daughter Sarah. Meanwhile, Robin and Will have a major disagreement, resulting in Scarlet leaving the band of outlaws.
Lord of the Trees:
Sherwood Forest and the neighbouring villages are celebrating 'The Time of the Blessing', an annual forest tradition. Gisburne, left in charge while The Sheriff does his annual touring of the county, is alarmed by the increasing amount of poaching in the forest and thus invites his old war-friend Bertrand de Nivelle to Nottingham in order to put a stop to Robin Hood once and for all.
The Enchantment:
