Solar Eclipses and Robin Hood

In a recent episode of the BBC show Robin Hood ("Total Eclipse"), a daring rescue is executed at the moment of solar eclipse.  Standard fare, but within minutes of the eclipse we see a shot of Robin Hood with a moon in the back ground and the sun nowhere to be seen.  To top it all off, the moon is only 3/4 full! 



Showing a non full moon on a solar eclipse day is like showing a haiku-style poem and saying "Do you like the sonnet I have written?"
