Synopsis

The Thief of Sherwood was the sixth short story in the Short Trips anthology Short Trips: Past Tense. It was written by Jonathan Morris. Featuring the First Doctor, Susan, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, the story of their encounter with Robin Hood was notable for being told through the frame story of the complete history of a fictional TV serial, The Outlaws.

In 2020, Jonathan Morris clarified on Twitter that he intended for the framing narrative of this story to be set in a fictional version of our universe, but that he would have no objection if fans were to believe it were instead set in a universe parallel to the Doctor's.
