BBC One Sherwood: No end of praise for third episode as tensions rise

Viewers continue to gush over screenwriter James Graham's BBC One hit drama series Sherwood as tensions begin to rise. Inspired in part by real events, Sherwood sees two shocking and unexpected killings that create immense tension in an already divided community, sparking a massive manhunt.

Scott Rowley (played by Adam Hugill) continues to cause unrest among the mining communities in Ashfield in episode three of the drama, while the police are yet to capture him as he hides in the woodlands with a crossbow. Then, DCS Ian St Clair (David Morrissey) gets a text to alert him to yet another murder.

Without spoiling the plot, viewers come closer to learning the identity of a mysterious 'spy' in the form of a police officer who had been dropped into the village during the miners' unrest. Mining striker Gary Jackson, the first to be murdered, had been researching who the undercover police officer might have been before his death.
