London, Mar 28 : The English folk law has been reshaped - courtesy BBC. In its new series, Robin Hood has been armed with black warrior Friar Tuck - a change which has not been well received by historians.
However, actor David Harewood, who plays the first ever black Friar Tuck, who is usually played by short, fat, balding white men, is happy with his role.
He says he will reincarnate Sherwood Forrest''s bumbling monk into a hunky, fighting robed warrior who helps Robin rob from the rich and feed the poor.
