I agree.
I can't believe the nitpicking about authenticity.  If I wanted 
historical accuracy, I wouldn't be watching TV: I'd be heading for the 
closed stacks at the Carnegie Library main branch, with a stack of 
request slips in my grubby little palm.
What I wanted from the new "Robin Hood" series was light entertainment, 
and I got it (of course this included stopping the recording and making 
the appropriate snarky comments, such as the dyer's daughter with the 
*serious* blue eyeshadow, when necessary).
I liked the old show "Covington Cross", too -- and we know how 
historically accurate *that* was. :-)
