Gracie’s Life Experiment

OMG can’t believe what happened in the finale to Robin Hood.  I haven’t really watched that much of series 2 on the beeb but caught some of the episodes and the finale tonight.  It was all pretty ridiculous.  I mean how is it that it only takes a day to get from Nottingham to Portsmouth circa 12th Century in a horse and carriage?  Even more they seemed to get from Portsmouth to the Holy Lands in a blink of an eye.   Then Richard gets and arrow in the back, and later is well again but with what appears to be a broken arm – wtf?  It was like this episode was dreamt up by a group of primary school kids, I’m sure we used to do this kind of role play and come up with similar things in our imaginations.  Ah well, it’s Robin Hood for kids and on TV and not meant to be realistic (hey was it all just legend though, how many different Robin Hood’s were there anyway?).  It was fun, but silly at times.  Nevertheless I found myself oddly enjoying it (even though I was throwing my arms up in disbelief in places – at least I was watching).
