Stolen Robin Hood tapes recovered | |
(40 minutes later) | |
Master tapes of the BBC's new £8m series of Robin Hood, which were stolen on location in Hungary, have been found by police. | |
Tiger Aspect, the company which had leased a film studio in the town of Fot, near Budapest, where the tapes were stolen, said it was "delighted". | |
But the firm would not comment further about the ongoing Hungarian inquiry. | |
The BBC described the news as "very positive". Two people were reported to have been arrested on Friday. | |
'Re-shooting scenes' | |
A statement from Tiger Aspect read: "Earlier today, the Hungarian police recovered the property stolen from the Robin Hood production site in Budapest. | |
"Obviously investigations are not complete and therefore we do not wish to make any further comment about an ongoing Hungarian enquiry." | |
