ROBIN HOOD TAPES RETURNED

Stolen tapes of new British TV show ROBIN HOOD have been recovered by Hungarian police.

The tapes were taken while the GBP8 million ($14 million) series was being filmed on location in the town of Fot, near Budapest, prompting desperate appeals for the tapes to be returned.

Two people were reported to have been arrested on Friday (08SEP06).

A spokesperson for producers Tiger Aspect says, "The Hungarian police have recovered the property stolen from the Robin Hood production site in Budapest.

"Obviously investigations are not complete and therefore we do not wish to make any further comment about an ongoing Hungarian enquiry."

The 13-part drama series, which has been filmed in high definition, is set to be screened from next month (NOV06), and on BBC America, who part-financed it, next year (07).

A BBC spokeswoman said, "We understand that the majority of the material has been recovered."
