The BBC’s brand new six-part drama Sherwood, starring David Morrissey and Lesley Manville, premieres this week on Monday June 13.
Dramatist James Graham, who wrote the award-winning Quiz and Brexit: The Uncivil War turns his pen to his hometown of Sutton-in-Ashfield near Nottingham’s former coal mines, a place scarred and divided by events of the miners’ strike of 1984.
Graham loosely follows the real-life events when two murders occurred on this still traumatised town.
BBC Studios will distribute the series internationally.
