He's one of my crushes when I was in highschool. Such an adorable face he have! I could still remember my classmates going gaga over him wayback then. You seldom see handsome guys like him now in the movies and on TV.
I'm from Mexico. I used to watch this serial with my niece Rosalva. Such a handsome boy, We were in love with him. Now Rosalva is married and her daughter is 18 years old. I'm 53 years old, but still single... loyal to Michael and (why not) waiting for him, ja !
When i was youngers back in the 80's Michael for me was just like Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden ( mostly because of his hair ) . I love this serial nad i'm a huge Bruce Dickinson fan also :))
I never saw Praed again (that I recognized) after he went to Hollywood - he had every right to pursue his career, but it destroyed the magic that his character generated in the Robin Hood series. He had that brooding quality that made him seem dangerous and unknowable, even though he was a little guy (he had a big bow) - Jason Connery was just too amiable, the dramatic tension of every episode was he'd have a snit and refuse to explain himself. Well, the Hooded Man couldn't live forever...
ha, I guess his supporting actors were big too, & I misjudged. And Praed was young and slim, possibly. Well, thanks, nice to hear he's doing well.
Yes, I've seen about 6 actors do Robin Hood, over the years, and none but Praed made the character romantic -
the show aired in DC in the early 80's at 11 PM Saturdays - the entire family (self & wife & 2 small children, boy and girl) would hurl ourselves on the sofa and wait for the spell to be cast - Clannad's music was essential, too :)
i too adored Micheal Praed until he went to America and cut all his hair off ... he should have stayed here and married me ..... my first love - at the age of 12 lol xx
Had the biggest crush on Michael Praed when I was 7 and watching this in the 80's. Still have the biggest crush on him now! Sick and tired of programmes nowadays relying solely on special FX and crap actors!
Jason Connery couldnt act although the episodes he was in were good, Neil Morrisey almost got the part after Michael , he would have been better even with his Brummie accent.
Ah this takes me back...i absolutely loved Michael Praed and carried a little pic of him in sellotape (the days before laminators!) in my purse at school; i was only 13 at the time!
Michael Praed is the best robin hood ever. Jason Conery was good but not as good as Michael Praed, I wish tv shows were like the old days the 80's early 90's when it was good and not like a lot of stuff today more special effects to keep people glued. BBC ruined robin hood. The idea of MP in camero in BBC Robin Hood no way that's like a mockery him cameo in the worst robin hood series ever no. The bbc version they killed off marion.
Bet that if young children saw this series, if itv repeated it on itv1 instead of like the last time weekdays 8.10am and advertised it as the repeat of the greatest robin hood to have ever existed would drag in a lot young children and teens would be worth it. The bbc robin awful show they use the same forest in the series in their merlin series to which again is a bad idea put on screen 3 episodes of merlin and i was bored. Wish there had been more robin of sherwood episodes love it.
God ya I saw the first episode of season 1 of the bbc robin hood i laughed the minute i saw their robin hood he is just wrong for the part. One of my friends loves it so sat through i episode for her i was soooooooooooooo bored and i love robin hood but it was just atrocious . The itv robin of sherwood nothing can compare to it it is the best ever and nothing can top it. After season one of robin hood bbc the ratings were so bad they almost canned it. Wish they had.
openingsalvoe, Yes, at last someone who finally agrees that the current robin hood is the biggest load of drivel made since someone thought eldorado would be a good programme. You would not believe how many arguments i have gotton into on you tube with idiots too young to even remember robin of sherwood. Todays version is politically correct, historically inaccurate clap trap. RofS was innovative and inspired the saracen being included in RH prince of thieves. You should not mess with perfection
I have just watched series 1 & 2 of RoS and it is brilliant - really took me back. All the outtakes are inc. in the box set. Michael Praed would have made a great James Bond (and still would!) The BBC should give MP a cameo in the present series.
Many beautiful man on world were and it is but Michael was absolutely phenomenal ,directly perfect. Michael was the most beautiful ,the most handsome and sexy man what existed ever and he is still attractive man and the best Robin !!!
I am so laughing and practically falling on the floor after watching this (about 500 times now)!! This is great! Where did you find these clips from RoS? I loved that show, which only aired in the mid-80s on pbs and have yet to see it on DVD around here (Vermont, USA)...
Wyglada na to, ze jestes Polakiem, wiec dopisuje po polsku. Mam nadzieje, ze chciales powiedziec, ze nikt nie jest lepszy od tego Robina, bo jak na razie to napisales, ze kazdy jest lepszy od niego! ;)
i am currently transfering the episode Lord Of Trees to dvd.. i think Michael Praed is definately better than Jason Connery.. it was Clannads lending there music to thisshow that started me watching in the 80s..
Brill! Love Robin of Sherwood! Had a crush on Michael Praed since i was 3! Lol! Without a doubt the finest Production of "Robin Hood" To Date! Have about 10 Robin of Sherwood vids up myself, check them out!
YES!!!! thank fuck theres people who love this robin hood. what does everyone think of the new VERY DIRT FREE robin hood who can;'t act and his men look like failed indie musicians. but why this music?
Brilliant! Funny! Wonderful! I just don't find words to express my feelings. I love such a long time Michael Praed, and ABBA is also my all-time favorite!

Michael is alive and well and does mostly stage work nowadays.
LOL! He is not a 'little guy' either, he is 6ft 1 and towered over me when I met him in March last year. He is such a sweetie to meet, too.
He will always be my favourite Robin Hood, no one can match him in that role.
