"Prince Of Thieves?" (6 episodes)

The TARDIS crash lands on Earth in 1181 AD. The group heads outside and find a farmer and his family have been robbed of a sow and tools and money. They confront the mercenaries and regain the farmer's items. The mercenaries work for Sir Guy of Gisbourne. The farmer, Marcus, thanks Stan and the group and introduces them to Friar Tuckelson and Wil Scarlet. Wil is incensed and says that Stan's heroics will bring the wrath of Sir Guy upon the village. They come up with a plan. They will hijack a wagon train carrying loot from Gisbourne to Nottingham through Sherwood Forest, thereby bringing Gisbourne into Sherwood instead of the village. The heist goes as planned except that Scarlet and Owain (Tuck's apprentice) are captured by Nottingham's men. The group spreads the gold they have plundered among the neighbouring villages and a story evolves around their escapades; Stan is being called Robin Hood, Natasha is the Maid Marian, Roman is Little John, and Friar Tuck is, well, Friar Tuck. Meanwhile, Stan discovers that the TARDIS crashed due to a forcefield emanating from within Nottingham Castle. The forcefield is keeping the TARDIS from moving at all. The Sheriff sends word that he wishes to speak with Robin Hood and his band. They meet in a field and the Sheriff proves to be the Master! The Master tells Stan that he will have Wil and Owain executed in two days time. Stan plans an attack on the castle using holographic dragons as a diversion. They get into the castle and rescue Wil and Owain and confront the Master. The Master accidently shrinks Sir Guy with his TCE, and then escapes in his TARDIS exclaiming that it isn't over. Stan discovers that the Master has planted a nuclear device in Nottingham Castle. The device is found and deactivated in the nick of time. Father Tuckelson joins the crew.
