Irwin Fletcher is an investigative journalist who stumbles upon a police drug scandal, and a man who wants to be murdered. Somehow Fletch (Irwin) must find out how all these events tie together... While he is still alive. In the end Fletch solves the mystery and gets in several hillarious one-liners. Oh yeah, of course he gets the girl too!

Saxon nobleman Sir Robert Hode and his friend Will get on the wrong side of the Norman lords and become outlaws. They hook up with a band in the forrest, get some longbows, and rebel against the Normans. There's also a romance between Robin and Marian. Realistic settigs, authentic -looking production.
