Táák tu máte rozhovory pomocí google si je může te přeložit! Mě už se to tu nechce dávat(to přeložené)!xD A kopčete se zzdrojem snad už to nemusím připomínat!



Rozhovor s Robinem (Jonasem)

It's been three months since Marian's untimely death at the hands of Sir Guy of Gisborne and Robin Hood is an angry man. Having returned from the Holy Land, he's on a mission to bring down his mortal enemy and he's out for Gisborne's blood.


Here, Jonas Armstrong talks to Programme Information's Sarah Ward about what the viewers can expect from our hooded hero this series and how he feels about reprising the role of Robin without Marian by his side.


"Although Robin is totally devastated losing his wife, it takes him in a new direction for viewers," says Jonas. But the actor stresses: "We all missed Lucy [Griffiths] during filming, who was a terrific Marian and great fun to work with.


"I've always tried to find the darker aspects of Robin, because the good sides are clearly there for all to see. But now Robin's lost Marian, the heartbeat of his life, I've been able to darken and deepen him."


Robin is like a man possessed. He's returned from a long, arduous journey and has sacked his gang since they arrived back in England.


"The beginning of the series is explosive - it's really strong," explains Jonas. "Robin has just gone mad, because he's obsessed by revenge; he must kill Gisborne whatever the cost to himself and others. So he doesn't care about his men and being the champion of the people - all that's gone."


Fuelled by grief and anger, Robin is stuck on a downward spiral, but there is light at the end of the tunnel in the form of a travelling monk called Tuck, played by David Harewood, who soon brings Robin back from the brink.


"Robin isn't thinking straight," says Jonas. "During episode one he has a major duel with Gisborne and afterwards is close to death. The last thing he needs is someone preaching to him about his purpose in the world. But Tuck sorts him out. He makes Robin remember what he believed in before he lost Marian and reminds him the English need the Robin Hood legend to inspire them."


Another turning point for Robin, says Jonas, is when he confronts his nemesis: "At the moment, Robin could finish Gisborne for ever - he sees in Gisborne's eyes terrible grief and remorse."


Early on in the series, Robin and his men come across feisty Locksley villager Kate, played by Joanne Froggatt. Could she turn into a potential love interest for Robin?


"There is potential," laughs Jonas. "But you'll just have to wait and see!


"Kate has her own quest. She's like a mini vigilante all by herself - her family have suffered a terrible loss at the hands of Gisborne. Robin and the gang have to calm her down, otherwise she'll be killed, too. Eventually she joins the lads and she becomes indispensable to them. Joanne's performance as Kate is fantastic."


So, did Jonas have to go back to the Hood academy for some more training before filming began?


"We didn't have to do that because we're all pros now," he laughs. "Come on, give us a break! You get back, do a few warm-up exercises, jump on your horse again, and re-work the stuff that you used to know. The trick is to remember it all in the right sequence!"


Born in Dublin, Jonas used to watch Robin Hood with his dad when he was young, and still living in Ireland.


"I used to watch Robin Of Sherwood, with Michael Praed and then Jason Connery," he recalls. "I liked it because there was quite a lot of mysticism in it and the series had a kind of magical thing going on."


Jonas readily admits he felt quite anxious when he first found out he was going to step into the boots of such a legend.


"I didn't have quite as much confidence as maybe I should and the scale of the production was quite overwhelming for me at times. It took me a bit of time to get into it. I just felt like there were a lot of eyes on me, and there were - and rightly so.


"They said to me: 'OK, there you go, lad, off you go. There's your sword, there's your bow and arrow and that's your horse - get on with it.' But I wouldn't swap the experience for anything."


Sadly, for his legions of fans, this third series marks Jonas's departure from the show and he will be hanging up his bow and arrow for good.


"I feel immensely lucky to have played Robin Hood for three years and I've had the time of my life in the role," says Jonas.


"But the show has to keep on changing and evolving - we've done about 39 hours now of Robin Hood, so it needs to go in different directions. It's the greatest experience I've had in my career so far, but you can't do one thing for too long."


Since he left his band of merry men behind, Jonas has filmed the leading role in an episode of Jimmy McGovern's multi-award-winning drama, The Street.


"I play Nick a British soldier who returns home from Afghanistan, with a terrible facial disfigurement, and then has to re-adjust to civilian life," explains Jonas.


"At the end of April I'm off to the Eastern Europe again, to Romania, to start work on a film called The Glasshouse, which is about the plight of Jews during the Nazis invasion of Budapest."


But returning now to Robin Hood, Jonas says that the cast and crew all got together again recently and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the ending of this series.


"It is just a brilliant, brilliant finale to the three years," he enthuses. "We all got quite emotional watching it and were trying to hold the tears back. We've been racing around those forests for three years, and we've been through a lot together and become true comrades at arms."

Rozhovor s Guym(Richadem)

Richard Armitage hardly had time to catch his breath after filming the recent series of Spooks, in which he played MI5 spy Lucas North, before he was on a plane to Hungary to reprise the role of Sir Guy Of Gisborne, in BBC One's third, action-packed series of Robin Hood.


"I literally finished Spooks on the Friday and I was filming in Hungary on the Monday morning," Richard tells Programme Information's Sarah Ward. "So I didn't have time to unpack my bag! They literally grabbed me off the plane and took me on set!"


Gisborne had better watch his back. After murdering Marian, the love of Robin Hood's life, at the end of the last series, Robin is hell-bent on revenge and nothing is going to get in his way.


"People asked me why I killed Marian, and I know they sometimes get carried away but they did think that I had decided to do it rather than the writers deciding to do it!," laughs Richard. "I think people were truly baffled and had no idea the future was going to hold for the series without Marian. And, if I'm honest, I felt the same, so it was really exciting to get back in and see what they were going to do with that - particularly when Marian had been loved and admired by both Robin and Gisborne.


"I felt like Marian had become the reason that Gisborne was still alive and was still functioning, and I wondered how on Earth he was going to exist now."


So, does Richard think perhaps Gisborne and Robin could have been allies in another world, or were they always destined to be enemies?


"I definitely think they could have been allies," says Richard. "And that's part of the problem - that they both know it. If it was out-and-out hatred, it would be easier, but it's a deep hatred which is actually laced with a bit of admiration for each other. They hate the fact that they feel like that."


Gisborne and Robin's conflict fuels the action throughout the series, but does Richard believe Gisborne is afraid of his enemy, or would he secretly like to be more like him?


"I always played with the idea that Gisborne wanted everything that Robin had, and has. Because they grew up together, Gisborne feels if he'd had the same opportunities as Robin, he could have been the hero and he could have been loved - and I believe that's what he wants.


"But Robin's adored and he's the popular one. He's a rebel because he's an outlaw, so all of those elements infuriate Gisborne - and fuel his desire to be the antithesis of that; to be Robin's nemesis.


"But I believe he's afraid of him. I think he understands his brain and his skill with the bow and he doesn't underestimate him at all."


Later in the series, Guy and Robin are forced to reach an uneasy truce, although Richard says viewers will have to wait and see exactly what happens.


"It's actually not the first time," says Richard. "It happened in series two when they were forced to work together to find the sheriff. This time they are thrust into a situation where they're reliant on each other's knowledge and forced to achieve something together, in order for them both to survive.


This third series also sees the arrival of Gisborne's younger sister, Isabella, played by newcomer Lara Pulver, although Richard doesn't want to reveal too much.


"Just when he thought he had got rid of all his demons something from the past comes back to haunt him!," laughs Richard. "He has denied her existence because something happened between them which is so terrible that he's blocked it out of his memory. But she comes back and opens all those floodgates again and reminds him of what he did. She turns out to be a real thorn in his side.


"By rights, they should be allies - they should be strong together - but I think she's just as ambitious as he is and also, until now, Gisborne has been able to invent himself and tell the world exactly what they want to hear. He's had no family to challenge that."


Richard thoroughly enjoyed working with his on-screen sibling: "It was interesting because they cast Lara without me being involved, but we look alike! And we do think alike and we move in a similar way - it was very good casting," says Richard. "I really believed she was my sister. We got on extremely well and I enjoyed our scenes together.


"Gisborne is fun to play, although it gets to you after a while because you do forget how to smile, and you see everyone else around you having a really good time," laughs Richard. "I've spent three years with a face on me like thunder!


"But it is great getting into that costume and the hair and make-up. This year we chose to make Gisborne look wasted, bedraggled, yet at times heroic - it's brilliant to play a character that can both attract and repel. He is darker and more disturbed this series. I suspect the viewers will not like him, but they may understand why they hate him!"

Rozhovor s Kate (Joanne)

Guy of Gisborne's soldiers may be used to being roughed-up by outlaws, but one unfortunate guard found himself on the receiving end of more than he'd expected when newcomer Joanne Froggatt made an immediate impact in BBC One's rip-roaring version of Robin Hood.


"It was my very first scene," says Joanne, who plays Kate, a spirited Locksley village girl who joins Robin's band. "I'm seized by some of Gisborne's henchmen guards, and I was supposed to kick one of the stunt team and run off. We practised it five times but, for some reason, on the sixth go, instead of aiming to the side of his head where I should have been kicking, my foot went into his mouth and split his lip. I was horrified. Fortunately, he was okay. I bought him a bottle of whisky to add to my many apologies and to show how sorry I was."


Playing Kate in Robin Hood is something of a departure for Joanne who, after three years playing teenage mum Zoe in Coronation Street, made a name for herself with gritty performances in dramas such as playing Danielle Cable in Eyewitness and Joanne Lees in Murder In The Outback.


"My agent asked if I fancied Robin Hood and I thought: 'Yeah, why not?'" she says. "I hadn't watched it, to be honest, but I'd seen bits and knew it was really popular Saturday family viewing with heaps of action. I thought it would be great fun. I was up for a good old play-fighting and the scripts were terrifically exciting."


"We had to learn the fight routines very quickly," Joanne adds. "You literally learn them and do them, so you've got to be really on the ball. I'd done bits and pieces before, but I'd not trained to do stage fighting or sword fighting. It was completely new to me and a real challenge to learn."


Towards the end of filming on location in Hungary, Joanne found herself in the wars again. "We were choreographing a stunt sequence," she recalls. "We'd learnt it really quickly and there was quite a lot of twisting and turning. As we were running through the moves, my shoulder swelled up. I still had to do some takes and I didn't feel too bad so I thought I'd just carry on. A week later, I discovered that I'd dislocated my neck! Luckily it was quite near the end of shooting and there wasn't a massive amount left to film, and we simply cut out certain moves."


Making her first appearance in the second episode, Kate is soon thrust into the action as Gisborne's men plunder her village. "When I auditioned for the role, the producers didn't say too much about Kate other than she's head-strong and brave," says Joanne.


"I think they just liked what I did. Kate has to overcome real adversity and tragedy in a short time. She's had to grow up fast. When we first meet her, she's the one who looks out for her family. Kate loves her younger brother dearly and both she and her mum are very protective of him."


"Because her father's dead, I made up a back story about what kind of man he was," she says. "I kind of had it in my head that he was a strong, politically-minded man who'd maybe been involved in the fight for justice and that had been an inspirational figure in the lives of his children. Her mum has to be more practical and keep them watered and fed as best she can in difficult times."


Talking about the style of the series, Joanne says "There's an interesting mix to Robin Hood because it's kind of modern but medieval. There is a blend of adventure with a very modern feel. It's not literal to the period and in some ways that's easier, as you don't have to worry about getting the voice and the language exact - it's a bit tongue-in-cheek."


Joanne explains the difference in approach to playing Kate rather than characters based on real people. "In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research," she says. "It's a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible. In Robin Hood, you have more artistic licence - it's all action, adventure and reaction. This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable."


Making the series required a lengthy commitment to filming away from home and Joanne says the part came at the right time: "At certain times of your life - if you've got a young family, for instance - it's not practical to disappear to Budapest for seven months. But, at the moment, I haven't got those kind of ties."


"It came at just the right time for me. I'd spent the year before doing theatre with the Royal Exchange in Manchester and the Old Vic in London, and I wanted to do some more television and be involved in a series."


Living in an apartment with only two English television channels meant the cast crew really bonded. "The lads were lovely, really welcoming," she says. "I can't speak highly enough of them and all the crew. Everyone helped me settle in and involved me in anything they were doing socially. At weekends there was always a group of us going out and about in beautiful Budapest."


Following the death of Marian (Lucy Griffith), at the hands of the murderous Gisborne, there might be an assumption that Kate will provide a new love interest for Robin, but Joanne isn't giving too much away.


"All the way through I didn't actually know whether Kate and Robin would get together or not," she says. "We didn't film episodes chronologically, so you don't know exactly what happens in the story."


"I didn't feel that I was taking over from Lucy in any way because Kate's a very different character - the Marian and Robin story is the traditional one, whereas Kate isn't in the legend. So it gave me more freedom and no pressure to live up to anybody's expectations."


Certainly, Kate attracts the interest of Much (Sam Troughton) early on. "I think Much and Kate have a very strong friendship. But I don't think she realises he takes a shine to her. She's got bigger things on her mind - like fighting the bad guys!"
