The first episode of Sherwood makes it clear that the wounds of the 1984 Miners strike have yet to heal.
Even though the former mining village of Ashfield voted in a Tory MP in the 2019 general election.
Writer James Graham was inspired by true incidents. Gary (Alun Armstrong) is still bitter with his fellow villagers who crossed the picket line. He is not afraid to shout scab at them.
One morning Gary is discovered dead, shot by an arrow.
DCS Ian St Clair (David Morrissey) is leading the investigation but it seems he may have to call on a policeman from London who was there back in 1984.
The first episode establishes the characters. St Clair gets an award and makes a speech. It makes him late for a wedding reception.
A true blue Tory who plans to be a councillor in Ashfield is getting married.
It seems Gary was estranged from his wife's family. No longer in talking terms with his sister in law, whose son is wandering around Sherwood forest playing with a bow and arrow.
Sherwood has a starry cast. It aims to be a modern day Our Friends in the North. It was a solid start but it has not yet hit bullseye.
