"Well, I had the idea to do a Robin Hood TV show which comes from being a fan of the period. Being a huge fan of all things medieval. I was a kind of castle nut growing up as a kid.

You can't do anything in the medieval period without being sort of two or three steps from Robin Hood."

And, yeah, he's, you know, like, I think any young 24 year old, he's trying to find his place in the world. But I think, yea, Rob's, you know, he gets dealt some pretty tricky cards. So, you know, he has to navigate quite a bit. Yeah, yeah. But that's that's Rob. Yeah."

"In Hollywood terms, I mean, the scope and the scale of it, it's pretty huge. I mean we're in multiple locations, the sets we're building are bigger than any sets that I've ever been a part of building.

So we start in childhood with he and Marian and just go through basically his entire life."
