Yes there was a series based on Dick Turpin 45 years ago, but other than the name of the main character there is no relationship. This is fun, goofball humor. Think Monty Python-esque. If youve seen Our Flag Means Death you have an idea of what you'll get here. If you are a Noel Fielding fan you'll have an better idea. If you are looking for historical fiction go elsewhere. This is hysterical fiction. No, not all the jokes hit but between the silly dialog, physical humor and sight gags there is plenty of fun for someone looking for something mindless and entertaining. Just don't expect to be too deep.
