Maid Marian and Her Merry Men (End Titles)

[CrosbyiteBob]

Making me quite emotional. Miss my childhood man!

[lordsoftheringer]

I used to watch this as a kid. Im now 35 and still cant get this tune out of my head!!! The theme tune is so fantastic and it was a great programme too. Theres not many programmes I think about as an adult but I still think of this one regularly, and its all because of the great music!

[superbike1981]

thank you. awesome post!

[MaggieACharva]

I loved this show as a kid & is like a childrens black adder too!

[yorkshire13579]

From 1989 (in case you can't read the Roman numerals at the end).

[MeBenHalpin]

Used to watch this all the time as child, what memories.

[dickinsop]

This has been my ringtone for 4 years now. Still not bored of it.

[silentbob82]

Oh my! I haven't seen or heard this since it was on tv when I was a kid, but as soon as 'Maaaaariaaan!' started up I was able to sing along with nearly all the words!

[babylonhasnofruits]

wow. Its so true, as the comments have stated, kids tv is so poor nowadays, we were very priveledged to watch shows like this, they gave us morals, humor and an amazing cast. nowadays kids have...... i dunno, when it got to gadget boy and heather i stopped caring :)

[ferrycorsten73]

Just saw someone shouting marrion on crimewatch in a Reconstruction, so naturally I thought of this on you tube, warped maybe? :P

[BlackAcebt2]

I grew up near Worksop... it's gone down hill over the centuries.

[ohdofuckoff]

Us 90s kids were spoiled rotten, weren't we?

[pur33vil]

wait Danny John-Jules was on this?? How did I never know? lol

[ironiclettuce]

@pur33vil

Not 100% sure, but I THINK he sings the theme tune too :)

[Roymungus]

I bought the complete series on DVD it's awesome this was one of my favourites in primary school and also Ghostwriter on DVD they don't make quality kids shows the way they used too! I feel sorry for the next gen kids getting such junk for kids shows.

[wjfox2006]

It's been 15 years since I heard this tune.

Ah, memories!

[NobodyTossesADwarf91]

Did anyone just come straight here after buying Total Film magazine? There have been 39 Robin Hood films, plus televisised productions, but this is the only one of Marian! I can't believe I'd forgotton this... the peasants, her hair, Tony Robinson... you're right, kids these days are missing out.

[moshbeard]

You don't too many theme songs as good as this.

[djren2007]

one of my fav shows when i was a teen

dont make em like this is a cliche but it does apply....loved the one where the peasant "snooker" invented a table top game with coloured balls....and the one where they did a crystal maze game......oh how my mind is full of useless but great memories...haha

[Shadedtail]

So many kids shows these days treat them like...well..moronic babies with iq levels below 10, who only appreciate pretty colours and the most ridiculous jokes.

Maid Marian was a fantastic show, i still enjoy it today. It was written very, very well.

[andybrad84]

the early 90s had loads of fantastic kids shows but this was one of the best. I used to love watching thsi when i came home from school!!

[blahblahlexi]

aww wow this takes me back!! we had great stuff when we were kids, always remembered the words to this song!!

[VDPEFi]

my god I loved this, im a kid again! awesome...

[airking747]

Ha ha ha when I saw this lol the words came straight back to me pmsl x x x ohhhhhh the memorys

[White1Hunter]

haha i rember this now

[PeroxideQueenie]

This was the best thing ever on TV!!!

[kevthecat11]

What a great show this was!

[syenic]

I didn't know it was on G.O.L.D! Oh how I wish I had that channel! Damn freeview!

[AlJayRobins13]

Marian's rival rose had big tits! thats why i watched it ! just tellin it like it is.

[exsquilax]

lol it makes a change seeing bladrick playing a blackadderesque character in this showin he can be just as good as mr bean

[stebryan57]

Started showing it on Sky channel G.O.L.D. today 11th August 2009. I'm 52 now and me and my kids loved it all those years ago and after watching it again today (twice!) I know why.

[missdizzee]

Typical I can't get that channel :( :( it is such a fantastic show!

[AlexCottrell]

Yeah saw it to going to be tuning in every day to. lol seing today made me listen to this.

[eamonnbowsie]

they dont make'em like this anymore.This is a classic and i agree that kids shows today are poor in comparison.I notice i never see kids out playing these days,stuck in on the computer they must be because kids TV is'nt up to much.

[gavinpow77]

Not just nostalgia speaking here, but I reckon kids are cheated these days. I remember my parents rushing home from work to see shows like this, as well as myself and my sister being glued too. Now, as a 32-year-old, I see very few kids' shows (if any really) that even tempt my attention, let alone raise it!

[MILKYWAIMAN]

I agree, i remember watching brilliant programmes like this and being interested in the stories and then reading the books, like Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Midnight Garden. The CBBC channel is pathetic, they have no drama serials for children, only stupid gameshows. There's a lack of good childrens writers, its very sad

[jaysenr14]

I don't think it's that there's a lack of good childrens' writers anymore, as they are out there, it's more along the lines there isn't funding for them to do so anymore. No one wants to spend time and money for someone to write something decent. These crappy gameshows are quick, easy, and cheap to produce so they keep knocking them out, and children have no choice but to watch it, not knowing any better.

[Reorte]

I agree with that, but Maid Marian was a cut above the rest when it was first made too.

[sim0b]

@gavinpow77 Agreed

[heatherlovespizza]

@gavinpow77 There is horrible histories, but that's probably the only exception to that, all other ids shows are atrocious

[ITW84]

and baldrick lol

[ITW84]

THE BEST LIVE ACTION KIDS PROGRAM EVER no arguments

i mean come on cat from red dwarf was on it ffs lol

[Shells2387]

This rocked!!!! Marion was kick ass!

[c1urb]

sweet miss the 90s

[KaydeyRai]

This used to be on fridays after school, such a funny show. good theme tune too

[happyhammy86]

OMg i still know all the words! i used to love this i still have videos of this show at home!!!

[andsr002]

SHIT

[Hanaq123]

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!! thankyou so much for postxxx

[NickeyNoodles]

haa samee

[mondyboy81]

Another truly underated kids show with very adult humour at the base of the show, much of which i was too young to pick up 1st time round.

Brilliant show though, one of the best there was after Grange Hill

[Reorte]

Right there. I got the DVD box set for Christmas, and was quite surprised by the number of jokes which went over my head when I was a kid.

One of the best series ever made for children's TV.

[artyruthy]

well funny loved this show...

[rainbowpride76]

OMG!! Awesome!! Best kids show EVER!!

[warlockboyburns]

thats a crackhead song

[81G5T3]

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

I always used to watch this, still can sing along :L I think im going to buy the box set if it's avaliable, mainly to sing along haha!

[KisaKohei1993]

lol I remember watching this like everyday when I got home from school... I wish theystill made awesome programs like this on cbbc and also disney...

[dandiesel3000]

Fuck that bought back a few memories off coming home from school and having to be touched up by my step farther and him making me do things I didn't want to....Thank you for that, really appreciated.

[bobmonk64]

Why? I Already am...

[chazamuffin]

i still know all the words!!

[Jdriftking]

Quite possibly the best piece of music from my childhood. And I think ive just realised where my love of gospel music comes from! Awesome, BRING IT BACK!!!

[Paulsb2005]

Its so kewl tho as they release loads on dvd and bit torrent sites if you want to download etc, i put all my stuff on dvd or buy the dvds, such as super ted, grot bag, this, sooty, jimbo, super gran, dog tanian and all the other fantastic 100s of superb cartoons and programmes we had as kids, for my kids :o) I aint letting them suffer with the shit they have on tv today for them no way, they gonna have the good stuff like we had :o)

[happinesscounts]

CBBC Used to get people to ring in and sing along at the end

[pinkarama]

OMG!!!! theme tune was ACE!!!! Lovin the gospal sound!!.x.

[PoppyHillstead]

Oh my god!The song was even better than i remembered!Just showing my brother and sister what thier generation missed out on! Bring back childrens TV like this cause I think if i see anymore boring shite like bloody shitting crap crappity 'Bratz' I am going to vomit!!!How can kids watch that bollocks!?Bratz is absolutly wank!Shitting pissy stupid Bratz.

[readingfcshaun]

I am only 15 but I think it was repeated about 7 years ago which is why I remember it

[kkpb7731]

Well done. It was repeated in 2001 after the initial airing was 1989. thats why i remember it. Im 25!

[Musemistress]

...

I can still remember this series and could swaer it aired when I was at least 11 or something. But now you tell us it was originally aired when I was 5???

Gods I feel old :S:S

[coastlinersmithy]

Yeah it was sung by Danny John-Jules, who also played the Cat in Red Dwarf.

[babybobobo]

[Womanwithapast]

[smith1435]

[mwtmnz]

Amen brother. Must be our age group. They don't make kids shows like this anymore!

[mwtmnz]

A,en Brother. Must be our age group. They don't make kids shows like this anymore! Tony Robinson did a great thing.

[starrynightone]

Aww, I loved this show, and still do. Made in Britain about Maid Marion, brilliant combo (instead of filmed abroad and about the bloke... duno who he is... Robin something...?) hehe.

[nathaylau2]

You can buy the box set of this on DVD from HMV!!!!

[mercboiuk]

This takes me back to my childhood! I still think children's programmes back in the 80s/early-mid 90s was WAAAAY better than those aired now (with all that computer generated crap about!)

Thanks to whoever loaded this up here!

Darren (aged 22) ;-)

[shubzi]

[EccentricGentelman]

[HenryvKeiper]

Ha ha, this brings back great memories. When I lived in Europe I used to catch this show on the BBC. Great to see it again.

[ronariverah]

Yeah Loved the song then Love the song now

[tireoghainian]

I like the episode where a major arms seller comes to the village and sells really crap versions of modern day tanks and rocket launchers to the king all made from medieval rags and branches.

[Nyandra]

wow, you remember the christmas special! That one never got shown in Australia, which really sucked.

Have all of you checked out www dot maidmarianandhermerrymen dot co dot uk?

[RoseandOakleaf]

Maid Marion and her Merry Men was brilliant, Tony Robinson is genius!

[hayleywills]

I used to love this program - used to make me laugh when The Sheriff called Snooker "Stinker" lol, memories!

[paparoach24]

[interghost]

Great program and very funny. Love the song so thanks for play it on here! ;o)

[EccentricGentelman]

My mother loves the episode where they do a parody of the Cryistal Maze.

[MarkyTheB]

Got chatting about this after watching clips of Knightmare & other wonderful kids tv from the good old days.

[Nyandra]

It's one of those shows you just can't forget, isn't it.

[joevsimp]

was that the wierd VR dungeon thing, on citv i think?

[Maidmarianwitchfan]

I remember when cbbc repeated this and put the song lyrics so someone on the phone could sing it. I remember i was on holiday and i sung it while i was my scooter.Everyone must of thought i was nuts. Please download more!

[EccentricGentelman]

Yes I remember them doing that, they did the same thing with Albert the 5th musketeer!

[xArwenx]

Oh Mariaaannnn!

[orlski]

I miss this program so much. Maybe i'm just remembering things being better than they were, but kid's tv seemed so much smarter back then...And funnier.

[Nyandra]

you know about the dvd don't you? The first one's out and the second one is coming soon. And the forum... maidmarianandhermerrymen dot co dot uk . I agree though, it was much smarter.
