‘Lady Claudius’ vs Robin Hood (ft Heidi Regan)
Sherwood Forest, 1152. Comedian Heidi Regan has arrived to meet her hero, and she doesn't mean the Kevin Costner version. Robin Hood, the Merry Men, and a mission to steal the Sheriff of Nottingham's treasure and break some outlaws out of jail. Claude 3.5 runs the Game Master for this one, allegedly the "chattiest, slickest chatbot in the game."
Asked whether she pictures Robin Hood as a man or a fox (Disney's 1973 version is apparently still vivid), Heidi describes him as "an amorphous blob of human, Merry Men, and they're my boys." Her methods for helping the outlaws oscillate between stealth, cunning, brute force, and — most distinctively — a lot of tickling. Nobody in Nottinghamshire is safe. Her ideal outcome involves a good bath and a giant celebratory bonfire.
The Robin Hood legend is rooted in the real tensions of medieval England: corrupt sheriffs, heavy taxation, and the vast Sherwood Forest that covered much of Nottinghamshire. Whether Robin Hood was a real person, a composite, or pure fiction is still debated. What's not debated is that Heidi Regan has decided he's real, he's her mate, and she's going to help him rob the rich. The Sheriff of Nottingham does not know what's coming.
If you were sent back in time, could you survive and thrive — or would you be burnt at the stake for being a witch? PastMaster is the show that turns history into an interactive adventure game. Each episode, a comedian is dropped into the past with nothing but modern knowledge and terrible ideas. The AI Game Master is strict. The chaos is inevitable. The past will be mastered.
Era: Medieval | 1152 CE | Nottingham, England
Featuring: Heidi Regan — comedian (So You Think You're Funny? winner 2016, BBC New Comedy Award winner 2017)
