Okay, now that I've got your attention, here's what this really is. What we have here are some random behind-the-scenes photographs taken during the production of what clearly appears to be the 1955 British television series The Adventures of Robin Hood. I stumbled upon them during one of my periodic rambles around the boot fairs and curiosity shops, and as a baby boomer TV and film buff (see my author's page by clicking on the blue highlight above) immediately recognised them for what they are.

Okay, now that I've got your attention, here's what this really is. What we have here are some random behind-the-scenes photographs taken during the production of what clearly appears to be the 1955 British television series The Adventures of Robin Hood. I stumbled upon them during one of my periodic rambles around the boot fairs and curiosity shops, and as a baby boomer TV and film buff (see my author's page by clicking on the blue highlight above) immediately recognised them for what they are. I present them here without superfluous comment or guesswork, as seen, as a social and historical document for pop culture enthusiasts, TV archivists and social historians, and-if you're the right age-as a nostalgic trip down memory lane. You may have a better idea of what and who the pictures show than I do, as I'm not a personal fan of the show, but as a general enthusiast for the period's television, I remember and recognise Richard Greene, Alexander Gauge, Archie Duncan, and Alan Wheatley. I cherry-picked as many of the best of them that I could afford, and if sales are modest, I might even break even in three or four years, but as a TV historian, I felt they deserved-needed-to be preserved and seen as a valuable record of a part of U.K. TV history and its production process, so I did my duty, rescued them from the damp cardboard box they were scattered in and present them here as found history. Enjoy.
