I spy an old prob for Rob

Sheriff MATTHEW MACFADYEN, AGE 34 Robin Hood RUSSELL CROWE, AGE 45 Maid Marion CATE BLANCHETT, AGE 40

SPOOKS’ Matthew MacFadyen has landed the role of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham in the new Robin Hood blockbuster film!
Matthew, who played Tom Quinn in the BBC spy show, is over a decade younger than Russell Crowe as Robin.
Perhaps it means that this time – against all tradition – the Sheriff will actually come out on top against the men in tights...
I reckon 34-year-old Matt might have a bit of an age advantage over the Sherwood forest foragers.
Russ is a whopping 11 years his senior at 45 and, lovely as she is, Cate Blanchett might be knocking on a bit for her role as Maid Marion at 40.
I know Audrey Hepburn and Sean Connery were well into their 40s in their Robin And Marion film, but their Sheriff was 49-year old Robert Shaw.
