Sherwood (BBC 1 9PM)

Post by tiger76 » Mon Jun 13, 2022 10:33 am

Big new drama hits the screens tonight, set during the miner's strike of the 1980;s, and it's got a hell of a cast list.

Needless to say the box set will drop following the 1st episode airing if you want to binge watch.

Yes looking forward to it, just hoping it’s good sound quality, some programmes of late have been really poor, even with my hearing aids in. :D

Obviously not.
Big mistake early on with Alun Armstrong asking a kid if he wanted to play for Notts Forest. Sacrilege using that name in those parts.

The guy who wrote it is from those parts so I suspect he knows what the locals do and don’t say.

I wouldn’t know , but bearing in mind they’d recently won back to back European cups , he’s hardly gonna ask “ do you wanna play for notts county “ is he ?

Dull, vague, over-hyped and as yet pointless.

Imo, obviously.

Judging by the synopsis it really ought to have been called "Sutton-in-Ashfield" rather than "Sherwood".

The setting is 30 years after the strike and attempts to show how deep the societal divisions were (and still are). I live in the area and NFFC is referred to mostly as ‘Forest’ and Notts County as’Notts’. I’ve occasionally heard people say Notts Forest but they’ve usually been somebody who doesn’t follow football.

The time frame is a bit confusing. I think it’s supposed to be the present day (the woman running for council says ‘don’t you know the red wall has fallen’) putting the miners strike the best part of 40 years ago not 30.

I agree it is a little confusing. The cars, clothing didn’t look contemporary and when Gary called someone a scab in the club I heard someone say “come on, that was 30 years ago”. Anyroad, my point was that it isn’t set in 84-85.
I moved to the area at the time of the strike. I’m originally from a pit village in N East Derbyshire and had family and friends who were on strike at Derbyshire collieries. Difficult times.

Maybe they’re just not that fashionable there 😂 The David Morrissey character was using a modern iPhone as well.

Really??

Hahahahahahahahah!!!!!

"Don't you know the red wall has fallen!"

Hi martin-p I'd like to try and solve the riddle: Is it, 'Things nobody in Sutton-In-Ashfield has ever said?'

It worked perfectly in the context of what was happening to be fair.

Notts Forest.

I don't think he did it deliberately, I think he was caught out.

Yeah, it was worth a watch.

Dragged out a bit for 6 episodes like they all do now. New series announced at the end but I don't know what content they will put in that?

I really enjoyed it and thought the last episode rounded the story off well. So it was surprising to hear them announce over the closing credits there’d be a second season. Think the broken ex-mining community still split down union lines and struggling with its past worked well, but they’ve done that now, not sure it’ll stretch to a second series.

Agree with this. It was good on the whole, with some good actors but I was a bit disappointed with the last couple of episodes. Tailed off a bit. Not on a par with Happy Valley for gritty police drama.

I watched it to the end and the last episode brings a lot of the story together really well with some interesting twists.

However, I agree with comments above that Sarah Lancashire's show was better and I didn't greatly enjoy the miner's strike backdrop.

Overall, I enjoyed it.

Filming the new happy Valley series started in January of this year and will be on TV around October or later in January 2023

It starts when the remains of a gangland murder victim is found in a drained reservoir it sparks a chain of events that unwittingly leads her straight back to Tommy Lee Royce,

Her grandson (Tommy's son) Ryan is now sixteen and still living with Catherine but things take a twist with him.

I quite enjoyed it myself and as CP001 says above, the last episode brought a few loose ends together.
I gave myself 2/10 for not making the connection with Daphne and Mickey Sparrow.

Enjoyed the episodes, though was surprised that a new series was mentioned. Also of interest for me was that it filmed near where I used to live and in the village where my son lived previously (showed his old house on numerous occasions) ; Gin Pit Village, Tyldesley, Manchester. The ex mining village has history as a location for tv programmes - the series "Sam" was also filmed there sometime in the 70's.
