What kind of woman is Marion?

I think she's a lot stronger than people are expecting. She does get rescued very occasionally, but she also rescues. She's a bit of a fighter herself.

She doesn't swoon and just fall into Robin's arms, like in the cartoon. They had a relationship that started before he went away to war so when he comes back she's really quite put out by the time he left her.

She's quite witty and cutting with him. She ridicules the way he saves people and thinks he should be more organised and planned in how he does things.

Did you get to do any stunts?

We arrived two weeks early so we could practise our horse riding and archery. I didn't do as much archery as the boys because they started as soon as the filming started.

My character, who I change into a bit when she fights, didn't happen until later in the series, so to start with I did horse riding and that was it.

As it's gone I've done more physical stuff like punching and with arrows.

One of the big questions... do you get to snog Robin Hood?

I can't tell you that, I don't know myself yet. We've had rewrites on the last few episodes and things keep changing, I might get to, I might not.

How would you feel if you did get to?

Is he (Jonas) here? It would be lovely, really nice.
