If yes, I think I might have seen it, but I'm not so sure.
I have found you a linky: Robin of Sherwood

It was on TV in the mid-80s. The first series starred Michael Praed, and later ones Jason Connery as Robin after Praed left to join the cast of Dynasty (the fool). You'll also find Ray Winstone as Will Scarlett! It was a huge hit and remains a huge cult. Written by Richard Carpenter who also did the seminal Catweazle (about an 11th century wizard travelling in time). Clannad did the music. It manages to combine genuine British folklore with adventure and peril, and it can also be really funny (not least looking at all those 80s mullets!). It had a mystical feel to it and had a lot of really scary moments - The Swords of Wayland springs to mind as one of the best, with its scary witches and ancient British mythology.

There are loads of clips on YouTube! And if tempted its often repeated on satellite channels and the DVDs are available. I could watch it over and over.

Robin in this is what a Ranger is to me.

Watch it if you can, it's awesome!
