Nottingham Goose Fair is around as old as the Robin Hood myth
In the myth, Robin Hood does go to a fair
THEREFORE
All modernised retellings of Robin Hood should have him going on the waltzers with a carton of chips & mushy peas, getting Marian to scream so a 17yo boy will spin them faster

Producer confession: sometimes, when you hear a show go out you think “yes, that was fine… but we could have added something”.
Tonight’s broadcast of The Abergele Files made me smile and be proud and happy to hear it again.
