Robin Hood and Spooks on BBC Entertainment

The BBC Entertainment channel which can be received via satellite or cable across Europe is showing Robin Hood series 1 starting 15 March at 5pm (CET). More details on the BBC Entertainment website.

BBC Prime relaunched as BBC Entertainment on 11 November, 2009. This channel is also available in Asia although they are not showing Robin Hood at this time. However the Asia website has a Robin Hood series 1 page and a series 2 page that you may enjoy – there are a few short clips of Gisborne.

The Spooks page has a photograph of Lucas and Ros that is slightly different from one we’ve seen before on the ‘Spooks Facts’ page.

There is also a bit of a tough quiz about Spooks on the ‘Quiz’ page. You have to be a real fan of the show to get some of those questions correct.

(Ali got 15/20 and is amazed she got that many!)

Series 7 of Spooks is currently being shown on Sunday evenings on BBC Entertainment Asia.

Region 1 DVDs released early 2010

The BBC America shop DVDs in the Works page has details of early 2010 releases of Spooks season 7 (known as MI-5 in the US) and Robin Hood season 3 on DVD.

Scroll down for a picture of tattooed Lucas and the following info…
‘we can now confirm we’re releasing this season, never before broadcast in the US, on DVD early next year’

There is still no news to confirm when BBCA will be showing MI-5 season 7, starring Richard Armitage as Lucas North.


Further down the DVDs in the Works page, there is information about the Robin Hood season 3 DVD, which will be available to buy in early in 2010. However, the site monstersandcritics.com states that it will be available to buy from 12th January 2010. The special features are exactly the same as you’ll find on the region 2 DVD which is out now, namely:

- A Legend Reborn (behind the scenes feature)
- A New Look (behind the scenes look at costuming)
- Trebuchet: Creating Chaos
- Character Profiles
- Video Diaries

RH online articles 11-12 Sept

11 September: ‘TV and Film Guy’ has published a detailed article here, reviewing the opening episode of season 3 of Robin Hood which will be shown on BBC America on Saturday 12 September at 9pm.
Regarding Richard Armitage’s performance, he says ‘Armitage plays the part beautifully, not only looking like an empty shell of a man in the season premiere, but also conveying a sense of mourning from within as well.’
