Air date: Feb 02, 2010

Robin Hood is one of the first super heroes. Stories of robbing the rich and giving to the poor are legend. Now evidence has been discovered to prove that Robin was a real person. Unpicking the folklore to separate fact from fiction, historians are exposing the man behind the myth. With new evidence culled from ancient manuscripts and historic sites this mysterious figure finally steps out of the shadows. The most famous British outlaw ever. He was allegedly of noble blood and sought to help the everyday man but did he really exist? Did he fight the evil Sherriff of Nottingham? Did he live in Sherwood Forest? Did he rob from the rich and give to the poor? Or was he really just a common thief?
