Doctor Who Picture Preview: Into Sherwood Forest!

at .

Doctor Who and... Robin Hood? ?!?

Sure! Why not? It even looks like Clara will be getting her Maid Marian on while she learns archery from one of the all-time-greats.

Robin Hood's Merry Men make an appearance, and I think we can even spot Friar Tuck! What we don't know is if they're really human.

The Doctor is called to Sherwood Forest when Nottingham is in danger from an evil plan (does he deal with any other kind?!) and "with all of Nottingham at stake, The Doctor must decide who is real and who is fake," according to the official synopsis from BBC. 

"Do impossible heroes really exist?" Well, there is an impossible girl, and there is The Doctor, who is quite impossible himself, so why not of the hero variety?
