i luv Robin of Sherwood to bits and even in the 80s they did two mildly progressive things i'm okay with:
- OC character Nasir, a Saracen (i think played by some Liverpudlian with a tan lol)
- Maid Marian learns archery, but i dunno, they teach her to shoot and then she just can

that's the level of 'fresh twist' i'm fine with. for the most part it was historically accurate, it just had a bit of magic and Celtic mythology thrown in there.

funnily enough Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (the Kevin Costner one) ended up with Morgan Freeman because they thought Nasir in RoS was part of the legend/story. so they swapped him to a Moor and there you go, black guy OC. you could write that in rather than just raceswap (you would 100% need to explain how that's come about).
