The third episode of crime drama Sherwood has aired and this morning actor David Morrissey joined Lorraine on her ITV morning show to praise the skills of Nottingham writer James Graham. Highlighting deep community divides created by the 1980s miners' strikes and the parallels between today's political scene, David gave an overview of the programme and its background to Lorraine and her viewers.
Sherwood is a six-part fictional crime drama written by Nottinghamshire's own James Graham, and inspired by events surrounding two Nottinghamshire murders which happened back in 2004. The murders re-ignite the historic divisions and tensions of a Nottinghamshire community that has lived through the miners' strikes of the 1980s.
Having starred in The Missing and Living Dead, viewers are used to seeing David in serious roles. In the BBC One show he takes the role of the main Nottinghamshire Police officer on the case, with strong memories of what happened the last time Met officers were on his patch.
