Episode Notes
Alnwick Castle, located in north-eastern county of Northumberland, was used as the outside location for Nottingham Castle, as well as Nottingham Castle courtyard.
Elsdon is the name of a small village in Northumberland, close to Alnwick Castle, which was used as a location for this series. By modern standards, Elsdon is out of the way from Nottingham, and by the standards of the late twelfth century, another world completely, making it unfathomable that Jennet would be under the Sheriff's jurisdiction.
Blaise Castle Estate, just outside of Bristol in Somerset, was the scene used for various forest scenes.
Episode Quotes
Gisburne: And the Lady Marion?
Sheriff: What about her? The poor girl's gone native. He'll tire of her, it's only a matter of time. One woman and half a dozen men, it's a perfect recipe for disaster.
Jennet: How can I help?
Sheriff: Oh don't worry. I'm not expecting you to turn them into frogs. You claim to heal people, using plants and berries for your innocent country miracles. What about the plants that harm. The poisons that grow beside the cures. You know them too don't you? You must! They can take away a man's will can't they? Drive him mad... or render him senseless. You're going to prepare such a potion. Nothing fatal, just something to make them helpless.
Gisburne: I believe in action, my Lord!
Sheriff: Ah yes, action: the eternal excuse for not stopping to think.
