September 8th, 2014 - 12:48amI do like it but I probably won’t buy one to be honest.

September 7th, 2014 - 3:14pmThese shirts just don’t do it for me. I think the reference too subtle for the vast majority of people so it would just be an odd t-shirt to most.

September 7th, 2014 - 1:41pmWould of been better on a green t shirt

September 7th, 2014 - 1:36pmQuite a nice t-shirt design. Better than the last two.
the astronaut of death
September 7th, 2014 - 12:04pmI think it would be better if they put the robot face on it instead of that crest
Trenzalore
September 7th, 2014 - 11:56amThis one looks better, at least people would get the reference and if they don’t, it still looks OK.
The episode itself was good, I enjoyed the humour though it began to wear off after a while.
I didn’t understand why they would offer a golden arrow as a prize if they needed it ❓
The story also confused you about Capaldi’s Doctor, after the whole darkness thing previously, here he was more like Smith so not very consistent.
So just like most Gatiss stories – meh.
The Twelfth Doctor
September 7th, 2014 - 12:20pmThe man who gave the prize (the golden arrow) was not a robot. This is why the Sheriff took part in the competition, he needed the arrow for the Robots’ ship. This is also why the man who gave the golden arrow to Robin didn’t hesitate on doing so. Hope this helps 🙂
Trenzalore
September 7th, 2014 - 12:24pmAh right, I see. Thanks!
the astronaut of death
September 7th, 2014 - 11:23amI actually like this one
Destroyer of Worlds
September 7th, 2014 - 11:01amWhat’s with the Warthog?
Exterminator
September 8th, 2014 - 12:49amI think it was the sheriff of Nottingham’s crest in the episode?
Exterminator
September 8th, 2014 - 12:50amIt’s a wild boar.

September 7th, 2014 - 9:51amThis is my favourite so far 🙂

September 7th, 2014 - 9:43amThe t shirt should have said “i am the doctor,and this….is my spoon!”

August 14th, 2014 - 2:27pmSeems like a spoiler if Robin Hood turns out to be a robot.
Destroyer of Worlds
August 14th, 2014 - 9:03pmIt’s probably means about the robot knights.
Trenzalore
August 14th, 2014 - 1:27pm“Robot Hood” is that supposed to be a pun based on the monsters (Robots) and Robin Hood? 😆
The Werewolf
August 19th, 2014 - 11:32pmConsidering the title “Robot of Sherwood” is derived from “Robin of Sherwood” I think the pun is certainly intended.
the astronaut of death
August 14th, 2014 - 12:17pmSo was robin hood real?
booboo
August 14th, 2014 - 12:19pmno all a legend
infact i was at Sherwood forest not so long ago, the oak tree is spectacular,well worth a day out if you have not been
the astronaut of death
August 14th, 2014 - 12:21pmCool I might go one day
I just thought doctor who was suppose to be historicly correct
Sam Richard Bentley
August 14th, 2014 - 12:22pmWell, it is questioned, isn’t it? The man, Robin Hood, was not real – but there is speculation over whether there was a man, or possibly woman, at the time who stole from the rich to give to the poor – hence beginning the legend.
It’s the same with Sherlock Holmes – did Conan Doyle create Holmes? Or was he based on a real life person? They’re questions that probably will never be answered.
booboo
August 14th, 2014 - 12:25pmit may not be real, but the legend has become legend
lets face it where would the tourist industry be if we really knew the Lochness monster did not exists, of that Robin Hood was just made up
I like to think there is always something behind it all
Anonymous
August 14th, 2014 - 12:25pmWell back in thoes days there would have been quite a lot of characters like robin hood
And if Sherlock homes was real I imagine we would know as no detective can be that good
Sam Richard Bentley
August 14th, 2014 - 12:27pmOh, yes – I always like to think that behind every character, or legend or myth, there was some truth. Whether it be the exact same person with a different name, or someone similar in many ways.
Sam Richard Bentley
August 14th, 2014 - 12:31pmAlso – ‘I just thought doctor who was suppose to be historically correct?’
It’s a science-fiction show! They can do whatever they please with time and space and the laws of physics! Which is quite nice, really.
Anonymous
August 14th, 2014 - 12:56pmYes but the science and space part of the show could be anything
But when doing time travel it should be correct
the astronaut of death
August 14th, 2014 - 12:57pmMabey at the end of the episode robin hood will end up being an alien or something I’m sure mark will have something up his sleeve

August 14th, 2014 - 1:07pmWell… we shall have to see… We have seen Atlantis, minotaurs and the trojan horse before… we have also seen alternative and virtual versions of Earth.

SomeFunnyDrWhoReference
August 14th, 2014 - 1:56pmWho has also tackled King Arthur and Merlin and that’s all myth. Personally I’d love a Sherlock/Doctor team up. Where would you place that??
StetsonDoctor
August 14th, 2014 - 2:03pmTo be perfectly honest, most nu-who historical a feature myth or legend that usually gets revealed to be as a consequence of aliens.
-Queen Victoria and the wolf bite
-Shakespeare’s lost play
-Pompeii
-Agatha Christie’s disappearance
-Bowie Base One destruction (kind of)
-Van Gogh’s influences
-What the Siren really was
-Witch of the well (ghosts)
To name a few. It normally makes for an interesting story…

August 14th, 2014 - 5:07pmI was at Sherwood forest last week for the robin hood festival
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
August 15th, 2014 - 11:08pm“Historically correct?”
If Doctor Who was historically correct the show would be pretty dull… take for example the invasion of st pauls in the 60s or the invasion of the world in 2008, or the slow invasion in 2012… they are both historical events now that never happened….
Trenzalore
August 15th, 2014 - 11:12pmYou could argue that Doctor Who was originally an educational show (of sorts) but this was mainly in the classic era, now historical stories are partly correct but featuring some alien twist.
the astronaut of death
August 19th, 2014 - 11:28pmWell I just actually read the previews of the episodes in this weeks radio times
And it says on of the main factors of this episode is the doctor arguing robin hood is not real
the astronaut of death
August 14th, 2014 - 12:12pmSo is robin hood the title ?
