'Robin Hood': The future
Published Thursday, Aug 7 2008, 00:02 BST | By Neil Wilkes | 29 comments
So, by now you'll have read the announcement that Jonas Armstrong is to leave Robin Hood at the end of the upcoming third series. If you haven't, click here to do so, then come back and we'll discuss.

First, some scoop on what actually happens in series three.
Following the events of the series two finale (the untimely murder of Marian at the hands of Gisborne), Robin returns "older, tougher and hell-bent on revenge".
Meanwhile the Sheriff (Keith Allen) is "more precarious and unpredictable than ever" as new threats loom. Joining Robin's gang is Friar Tuck (a notable omission up to this point), who quickly becomes one of Robin's closest allies.
Robin will make his exit in the series finale in scenes described as "explosive" and "nail-biting". Read: death!
Despite the exit of Jonas Armstrong, the BBC has remained adamant that the series can continue. But how can it do so without its titular character? Perhaps the part of Robin will be recast? Maybe the series will be renamed, or a spinoff will be born? Perhaps even there will be a bizarre Doctor Who crossover, revealing that Robin is in fact a Time Lord with the ability to regenerate?
