series Robin Hood no Daibōken, Much (voiced by Mayumi Tanaka) is a child and Little John's right-hand man as part of a group of bandits who were forced to hide out in Sherwood Forest to avoid forced labour. In the British 1991 adaptation Robin Hood, the character is played by Danny Webb and credited as Mulch the Miller. In the children's comedy Maid Marian and Her Merry Men (1989–94), the character is parodied as a "wide boy" (one who lives by wit and guile) called Much the Mini-Mart Manager's Son. Much plays a somewhat minor role in the PC game Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood, where during times when Robin Hood consults his men for tactical advice, Much almost always provides the worst plan with the least chance of success. His plans are often outlandish, with no real basis in tactics, which fits well with his character's background of a poor, talentless outlaw of a miller's son. Much is the main character in a Xeric award-winning webcomic, Much the Miller's Son by Steve LeCouilliard. This comedy series loosely follows the legend of Robin Hood (drawing heavily from the Errol Flynn version) from the point of view of Much. In the play Marian: or the True Tale of Robin Hood by Adam Szymkowicz, Much appears as a member of the band of thieves, originally addressed as Much the Miller’s Son. After showing discomfort to the group being referred to as the Merry Men, Much comes out as nonbinary. This leads to them being referred to as Much the Miller's Kid and the band of thieves calling themselves "Robin Hood and his Merry Men- and Much!" BBC series Much is also a major character in the BBC television series Robin Hood (2006–2009), but he is no longer a miller's son; in the second episode, he claims to have no family at all. Instead, he is Robin's former manservant, comrade-in-arms, and best friend from the Third Crusade, who has been given his freedom as a result of his services there, but finds himself outlawed with Robin upon their return home. In this version, he is the gang's cook and immensely loyal to Robin; he is often seen to be jealous of the attention Robin gives to others, especially Marian. In the series, Much was played by Sam Troughton, grandson of Patrick Troughton, the first actor to play Robin Hood
