Clara wants to go see her childhood hero, Robin Hood. The Doctor is skeptical that Robin Hood exists, and he is convinced that Robin Hood is a legend. After going to go prove to Clara that Robin Hood doesn’t exist, he ends up proving Clara right. But seeing Robin Hood, he knows something is wrong, but can’t figure what is wrong. He starts to test everything around him, Robin, his comrades, the fruit, and the atmosphere. 

The Doctor and Clara end up battling the Sheriff and robots. The Sheriff is powering the robot's ship to take flight and take over London and then the world. The Sheriff is the one controlling the robots, because they saw him as their natural leader. Clara pretends to have seen the robots crash to the Earth, but is only pretending to find out the Sheriff’s secrets and plans. However the Doctor knows that if the robot's ship takes flight, it will blow up and destroy over half the country. 

I watched this episode on my mother's birthday, with my parents and grandparents. It was a nice fun episode to watch with my family, and was an enjoyable ending to the day. It was fun to watch the archery contest that the Doctor wins by a homing device, and to see that any spectator would think that Clara had the authority over Robin and the Doctor who acted childish towards each other the entire time they were together. 

I found it very interesting that the Doctor thought that Robin Hood was a legend, even though he brags about being everywhere in all of space and time. But then, if he has been everywhere at all times, where would he go without crossing his own timeline and meeting himself? The Doctor has not been everywhere, he does not know everything that happens within the universe, and he has weaknesses like everyone else.
