BBC drama Sherwood brought the nation's attention to Annesley in Nottinghamshire, 18 years after real-life events had done the same. The show, which was written by Nottinghamshire-born writer James Graham, was inspired by two murders which took place near the village of Annesley Woodhouse and sparked a huge manhunt by Nottinghamshire Police.
They focused on the killings of Keith Frogson, who was known as 'Froggy' in Annesley Woodhouse where he lived, and Chanel Taylor - although the latter's death was heavily fictionalised as family preferred not to be involved in the making of the show. Froggy, like the character Gary Jackson, was shot with a crossbow on his doorstep back in 2004 with his killer - Robert Boyer - fleeing to the woods after the brutal murder.
Meanwhile, Chanel was murdered by her father, Terry Rodgers, who then also went to ground in the same woodland where Boyer was hiding from police. The killings sparked a huge manhunt and Sherwood focused on the effect of the Met Police's presence in the former mining community and the existing divisions created by the strikes in the 1980s.
