After the credits rolled on the final episode of BBC One's Sherwood, TV critics have heaped praise on the show, with a number of five-star reviews being penned. Looking at reviews published after the final episode, at the time of writing, every single one could not speak more highly of the drama.
Sherwood is a six-part fictional series written by Nottinghamshire's own James Graham. It's inspired by real-life events that happened in 2004, when two unlinked murders happened within weeks of each other in Annesley.
Robert Boyer had shot ex-miner Keith 'Froggy' Frogson with a crossbow on his doorstep, before hacking him to death with a sword and setting fire to his home - with his victim's daughter and her husband still inside. Later that month, Terry Rodgers was living in his daughter Chanel's home when he shot her four times, just weeks after her wedding.
