11. "Never ASSUME anything, Gisburne! Except an occasional air of intelligence..." - Alan-a-Dale

10. "Who is this clown?" - Seven Poor Nights From Acre

9. "You deaf idiot!" - The Power of Albion

8. "Gisburne's brains are in his backside. It's not more men he needs, it's more (slaps forehead) up here." - Robin Hood and the Sorcerer.

7. "What do you think you're wearing Gisburne? You look absurd!" - Time of the Wolf

1. "Incompetent, inadequate, inept, and incompetent!" - Rutterkin

5. Albion in The Power of Albion
This is a really nominal special effect since really Robert Addie provided the effect. But when Gisburne tried to swing the sword home and couldn't...great moment, very convincing. And since Albion had some other effects moments (Marion's vision etc.) in this episode I'm counting it.

4. The doppelganger in Time of the Wolf
Two Jason Connerys...I'll take any way I can get it, even with those yellow fang teeth <g>.

I just love the way he seemed to melt in reverse. And then his scream when the spell was broken was great.

Bring on the fog machines and the back lighting!

1.Belleme's magic in Robin and the Sorcerer
Belleme cutting Robin from a distance and setting the bow on fire were perfectly convincing and impressive. Proves sometimes simple works best.

2. "What binds the hunter to the hunted?" - Robin Hood and the Sorcerer

1. "Who is the greatest enemy? Always near you. Sometimes at your shoulder." - The Greatest Enemy
