"Total Eclipse" is the first episode of series three of the BBC's Robin Hood series. It was aired on Saturday 28 March on BBC One. It shows the first appearance of Tuck.
Robin, John, Much, and Allan have returned to England. Robin, very eager to get revenge on Gisborne for what he did to Marian, gets to Locksley and has an epic duel with him. Gisborne chucks Robin off of a huge cliff, and Much is captured by Gisborne's guards. Meanwhile, Sir Jasper has returned to Nottingham to tell the Sheriff about Prince John possibly firing him. Allan and John, thinking Robin was dead, go to Nottingham Castle to save Much. They save him in Sherwood Forest. Tuck, a monk, saves Robin and heals his wounds. The outlaws encounter Gisborne, but are saved by Tuck, who joins the outlaws.
