The horrific events that gripped the people of a Nottinghamshire mining community 18 years ago have been revisited in a new television drama. Back in the summer of 2004, there were two unconnected killings carried out by different men within weeks and a few miles of each other.
The BBC 's six-part crime drama Sherwood tells the tale of a mysterious killer stalking the streets of a pit town still coming to grips with the sudden decline of its coal mining industry. It also centres on the fallout from the 1984 miners' strike.
Starring David Morrissey as a detective tasked with apprehending the culprit, it concluded tonight (9pm, Tuesday June 28). In real life, police were investigating the violent deaths of ex-miner Keith Frogson, 62, who was killed with a crossbow and samurai sword outside his home in the pit village of Annesley Woodhouse.
