Greene returned to Britain looking for work. Reflecting on his career he said "I haven't had the big build-up part I expected. They turned me into a cloak-and-dagger merchant. After four dungeon pictures in a row I decided to throw it up."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article161627921 |title=RICHARD GREENE |newspaper=[[The Newcastle Sun]] |issue=11,123 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=14 January 1954 |access-date=23 September 2017 |page=20 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>

Greene got a role on stage in a production of ''[[I Capture the Castle]]'' with [[Virginia McKenna]]. Then Yeoman Films of Great Britain approached him for the lead role in the TV series ''[[The Adventures of Robin Hood (TV series)|The Adventures of Robin Hood]]'' (1955–59). He was an immediate success in it. The series and a number of related marketing products bearing his likeness, such as comic books and "Robin Hood Shoes", solved his financial problems, with success both in the United Kingdom and the United States.

During the series' run he made the occasional film such as ''[[Contraband Spain]]'' (1955), ''[[Beyond the Curtain]]'' (1960), and ''[[Sword of Sherwood Forest]]'' (1960), as Robin Hood.

He had a long love affair in the 1950s with Nancy Oakes, wealthy daughter of [[mining]] tycoon Sir [[Harry Oakes]].{{according to whom|date=April 2018}}
