Sherwood viewers slam 'cringeworthy' scene and wonder what the point of it was

BBC One's Sherwood aired its second instalment last night (Tuesday, June 14) which was full of unexpected twists. Inspired in part by real events, Sherwood sees two shocking and unexpected killings that shatter an already fractured community, sparking a massive manhunt.

However, an "awkward" scene in the latest episode sparked fury among viewers who questioned whether it was essential to the plot. In the opening episode, tensions started mounting between Conservative councillor Sarah Vincent (played by Joanne Froggatt) and her father-in-law Andy Fisher (Adeel Akhtar), who was a Labour supporter.

Things took a darker turn in the second outing of the BBC One drama and viewers witnessed a jaw-dropping development at the end of the instalment. While fans took to social media to express how stunned they were at the episode's ending, many viewers hit out over a scene which involved Andy and a Bluetooth speaker, as seen in The Express.
