Too Hot to Handle
Saturday, 09 May 2009 18:15 BBC1

A drought is taking its terrible toll on the people of Locksley and Robin and his men know they must find water fast or people will die. Prince John, meanwhile, reveals his latest plot to Isabella – he's going to block off the water supply to the whole area and then give the people his own water to woo them to his side. They must support his claim to the throne... or die of thirst!
Meanwhile, Robin meets with Isabella who tells him of John's plan and of how he can unblock the water supply beneath the castle. Suddenly, Gisborne ambushes them but Robin and Isabella get the better of him and leave him tied to a tree. They head for the castle well and unblock the spring beneath, but Gisborne has freed himself and traps Robin and Isabella in the well as the water rises. Gisborne reports their deaths to Prince John who fulfils his promise and declares him the new Sheriff of Nottingham!
Just as it seems there's no hope, Robin and Isabella escape using Isabella's dress as a rope but, once out, they face Gisborne and the Prince in the dungeons. In the ensuing sword fight, Isabella and the Prince fall into the well and Gisborne flees as Robin escapes.
Meanwhile, desperate for water, Tuck and the men lead the villagers to the River Trent and arrive at the dry riverbed just as water starts to trickle down it. Robin has saved the day again!
