Maid Marian and Her Merry Men (1989)

Robin Hood, flipped. Tony Robinson, Baldrick himself, created and wrote this BBC series and plays the tax-obsessed Sheriff of Nottingham, while Marian leads the outlaw gang and Robin is a vain, incompetent ex-tailor who fell into the leader's job by accident. It was made for children and won the 1990 BAFTA for Best Children's Programme, but the jokes about medieval peasant misery and a pompous, scheming Sheriff land just as well with adults. Four series ran from 1989 to 1994, and setting the whole thing in the very real Nottinghamshire town of Worksop is part of the fun.
