Robin Hood tapes stolen,
TV Robin's drama robbed
GANGSTERS have stolen the master tapes for BBC1’s new mega-drama Robin Hood from the Hungarian set.
The £8million show was supposed to launch next month as the jewel in the Beeb’s Saturday night schedule.
Cast and crew have spent months filming the drama in Budapest.
But the entire show is in uproar as four tapes are being held to ransom.
Dozens of Hungarian extras were used and one is suspected of having stolen the tapes.
It is the first major BBC series in the new high-definition format. Without the tapes, the BBC can’t show it in HD.
The series will star newcomer Jonas Armstrong as Robin and Keith Allen as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
The Beeb said it was working to get the tapes back.

Bitte , bitte ich verzweifle.
Jeder hat so schwer an der Serie gearbeitet. In der Hitze und bei jedem Wetter.
Irgendeine oder wer weiß eine Bande verlangt jetzt Lösegeld.. Ich fasse es einfach nicht.
Mal abwarten was es für Neuigkeiten geben wird.
Die Gauner müssen geschnappt werden...
Ich bin so traurig.

ROBBIN' HOODS HIT BBC
Gangsters hold Beeb to ransom over top show
By Rod Mills
THE BBC's new flagship drama Robin Hood is being held to ransom by gangsters who stole the master tapes for the
£8million series.
An extra is thought to have nicked the tapes during filming in Hungary.
Now an eastern European mafia gang are demanding a ransom for the footage of the series, which had been set to
be shown this autumn in the Saturday night slot vacated by Dr Who.
Newcomer Jonas Armstrong takes the lead role of
Robin Hood previously played by stars such as Errol Flynn and Kevin Costner.
Dozens of Hungarians played extras and one of them is thought to have stolen the tapes to order.
The series, which also stars Scot Gordon Kennedy as Little John and Keith Allen as the sheriff of Nottingham, is expected to be a worldwide hit.

It was the first BBC drama to be shot in high definition - a digital format set to be the next revolution in viewing habits. But now the BBC and production company Tiger Aspect face paying a ransom demand to regain the four HD tapes.
Yesterday, the companies issued a joint statement about the theft.
It read: "Tiger Aspect have been the victim of a break-in in Hungary where Robin Hood is currently being filmed and some high-definition
tapes and other equipment have been stolen.
"The thefts are causing inconvenience and have resulted in a delay in finalising some of the episodes.
Tiger Aspect are taking all reasonable steps to recover the tapes."
Industry experts claim the thief had inside knowledge as they stole tapes guaranteed to cause the most problems.
BBC controller Peter Fincham had high hopes for the success
of the series and is expected to be furious at the security breach which now threatens the show.
Speaking before news of the theft he said:
"This exciting drama will be a unique blend of exhilarating action adventure, wit and romance."
