| BSG Review: |
Perhaps one of the best children's sitcoms ever produced, Maid Marian and Her Merry Men had both witty scripts and outrageous plots, and was good, harmless fun for children of all ages.
Made for Children's BBC, it was a hit with all those who saw it, and could have grown further had it moved to a later timeslot.
