The Adventures of Robin Hood was a popular, long-running Britishtelevision series (143 half-hour, black and white episodes, 1955–1960) starring Richard Greene as Robin Hood.The programme was made by Sapphire Films Ltd for ITC Entertainment and screened on the ITV network in the UK. Repeats can usually be seen on ITV3. It was also sold to CBS Television in the United States. It was the first of many big-budget shows commissioned by Lew Grade, who hoped to make big profits by selling programmes to the lucrative American market. Consequently the series was shot on 35mm film to provide the best possible picture quality, and had fade-outs where US commercials were intended to slot in.
