Robin of Sherwood was more expensive than Carpenter and Knight's previous series each episode of Robin of Sherwood cost around £500,000 to film. Goldcrest Films, the US network Showtime, HTV and Gatetarn agreed to fund the series. With the aid of television producer Sidney Cole, Carpenter and Knight were able to create a production deal for the show. For their next project, Carpenter and Knight decided to have their production company Gatetarn do an adaptation of the Robin Hood legend. Richard Carpenter had previously worked with producer Paul Knight on two other dramas involving historical adventure, Dick Turpin (1979–1982) and Smuggler (1981). The series is also notable for its musical score by Clannad, which won a BAFTA award. Robin of Sherwood has been described by historian Stephen Knight as "the most innovative and influential version of the myth in recent times". Unlike previous adaptations of the Robin Hood legend, Robin of Sherwood combined a gritty, authentic production design with elements of real-life history, 20th-century fiction, and pagan myth. The show starred Michael Praed and Jason Connery as two different incarnations of the title character.
