Bafflegab Productions is bringing back Robin of Sherwood. The Knights of the Apocalypse is based on an unused script by Richard Carpenter and will be full cast. It's being crowdfunded by indiegogo and reached it's target in the first day and has 8 days left. Has anybody funded it? What are you looking forward to? etc., etc.
Crowd funding site is #/
Discuss ...
Cheers
Tony

That's awesome! I was never a fan of BBC's Robin Hood and I was hoping Big Finish would pick up Robin of Sherwood instead!

Enjoyed this series when I was a lad but it never captured my imagination, I am surprised by the response the crowdfunding campaign has garnered, clearly many others did have their imaginations captured, good luck to Bafflegag and all those involved.

I enjoyed the Mysticism of it when I was a teenager, but stopped watching it after Michael Praed (I guess he was my Robin). I never got back into it when Jason Connery starred, but nostalgia beckons ...
Cheers

Crowdfunding has now officially finished, but they have extended by one month for those who still want to donate or purchase.
Cheers

News update from Bafflegab's website. I wonder what happened and if it will affect the crowd funding rewards? Robin of Sherwood update 11 December 2015 It's with regret that we have to announce that Bafflegab will no longer be producing Robin of Sherwood: The Knights of the Apocalypse. Knights of the Apocalypse is still going ahead, just without our involvement, and we wish the production the very best of luck! www.bafflegab.co.uk/news.aspA shame they are not involved anymore. Cheers Tony Update: Someone pointed me to the Robin of Sherwood Facebook page which reads: Robin Of Sherwood: The Knights Of The Apocalypse 11 December at 13:21 · Hello, everyone! You may have seen Bafflegab Production's statement that they are no longer involved in 'Robin Of Sherwood: The Knights Of The Apocalypse'. I'm afraid this is true. Whilst I am incredibly sad that Simon Barnard (who started the ball rolling many moons ago) and Bafflegab Productions won't be here to see the project through to the end, please don't worry unduly. This doesn't affect the production schedule or your donations or, in fact, anything. In a nutshell, it's just a little shuffling of the behind the scenes staff, as it were. That's not to say that Simon and Bafflegab Production's departure isn't an immense loss but I will make an announcement very soon to allay any and all fears. The eagle-eyed fans amongst you may have spotted that the Indiegogo Page and this Facebook Page have been edited and updated a little over the last few weeks. So, this hasn't been a rushed decision and I only wish Simon and Bafflegab Productions the very best and continued success with all that they do so incredibly well. More news (and very exciting news) to follow... Best wishes & rainbow fishes, BARNABY (Producer)

Latest news: the producer of this audio drama has hired a company called "Spiteful Puppet Entertainment" to replace Bafflegab as his backroom staff. No doubt they will do an excellent job. (And what a great name!)

C'mon, enough of the pussyfooting around, we need the nitty gritty... what's the story with Bafflegab not being a part of Robin of Sherwood anymore? Bafflegab being part of this is what got me interesed in this project. So surely some spiteful puppet will spill the beans...

No idea, I'm afraid. Bafflegab did say this on their facebook page, though:
"I'm afraid I can't really go into why we've had to part ways. It's not something I wanted to happen - it took five years to get to this stage, so certainly wasn't a lack of commitment! - but was a decision forced upon us."
