Big Finish Launches Robin Hood Talking Books
(
01/02/2009)
Big Finish is excited to announce a series of six talking books based on the BBC’s hit series
Robin Hood. Designed to be hour-long one-voice productions, each story will be read by a member of the original television cast.
The BBC’s adaptation of the
Robin Hood legend for its Saturday night drama slot has proven to be massively popular worldwide. With action and adventure galore, the series has revitalised the traditions of the story and opened it up for an entirely new young audience.
In an innovative move, Big Finish’s series of talking books will tie closely into the third year of the show, reflecting the themes, plots and characters of the season as it unfolds. Each story will be available on CD, or as a download from
www.bigfinish.com/robin-hood Four actors from the series have lent their voices to the stories:
Jonas Armstrong (Robin Hood);
Richard Armitage (Guy of Gisborne);
Sam Troughton (Much) and
David Harewood (Tuck) have all provided stunning performances that fans are sure to enjoy.
