Description

Richard Carpenter’s Robin of Sherwood scripts created a host of memorable guest roles for brilliant actors in every television episode of the iconic series from the 1980’s.

For the 40th anniversary in 2024, we took a unique sidestep to showcase memorable guest characters who accompanied – or battled against – the Sherwood regulars, using the original, surviving actors reprising their roles on audio. Now, we’re doing a companion volume!

The ‘Tales Untold Too’ CD features a series of five vignettes, in which you’ll get to hear about moments you didn’t see on screen, in episodes showcasing these specially chosen characters. These short snapshots into their lives might be set directly after the end of a relevant episode, or it might be set before the story even took place, or it might even be whilst a story is happening.
Featuring Rula Lenska and Marcus Gilbert as Morgwyn of Ravenscar and Lucifer, Amanda Hillwood and Charlie Condou as Lady Isobel and Martin de Rainault, Pavel Douglas as The Captain of the Guard, Matt Frewer as Roger de Carnac, James Coombes as Grendel, and Freddie Fox in his recurring role as Sir Guy of Gisburne on audio.
Also featuring the voices of Ed Browning and Sophie Jones.

Written by Jennifer Ash. Produced and directed by Barnaby Eaton-Jones, from his original idea.
The accompanying novelisation, again written by Jennifer Ash, has a bonus vignette that is exclusive to the book – and not featured on the audiobook – which centres around Queen Hadwisa (played by Patricia Hodge on screen).This is a special bundle release from Chinbeard Books, in association with Oak Tree Books and AUK Studios, for a lower RRP than the book and CD would retail at. There is only a limited amount available in this physical format too. Once they’re gone, you’ll only be able to get the audio as a download and the e-book won’t feature the exclusive extra story.
