Fans of Silksoundbooks star audiobook reader Toby Stephens will have to wait an extra week before watching the next episode of the BBC 1 adventure series Robin Hood.
Next saturday the final round of the Eurovision Song Contest will be broadcast live from Mosow to an estimated 100 million viewers around the world.

I you haven't seen Toby in his role as the evil Prince John, he is well worth watching. His new Robin Hood villain is a million miles away from the fearsome baddie he played in the James Bond film Die Another Day. 'I didn’t want to make him serious' said Toby, 'I just want him to look ridiculous really! I come into the show and cause chaos in Nottingham by setting the sheriff and Gisborne against each other.'

Toby went on to say his inspiration was Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood, rather than Kevin Costner’s more recent effort.
'I’m pretty old school, I didn’t really like the Kevin Costner film,' he says. 'I love it when it’s slightly tongue-in-cheek and done with a sense of humour.'

The next Robin Hood adventure can be seen on BBC1 on Saturday May 23.

Heart of Darkness, read by Toby Stephens, is available as an unabridged audiobook from Silksoundbooks.com

Tobys reading of Heart of Darkness is fabulous wonderful hypnotic storytelling that draws the listener into another world

I was in London last month to see Toby on stage in Ibsens A Dolls House so I know what a talented actor he is But with his voice alone he is able to convey so much meaning and richness into the reading of Heart of Darkness that it truly comes alive I hope to hear more from him
