[TV] Sherwood BBC1 (or BBC2 if the f***ing tennis is on…)

[Pevenseagull]

Seems decent enough so far.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Is it a look at what might have happened if we’d appointed Tim Sherwood as manager?

 

[Bakero]

Lucy Mangan was raving about it in the Guardian the other day. I'll have a watch when I'm back in England this summer.

 

[Beach Hut]

Watched 1st episode definite potential

 

[Garage_Doors]

is it a Robin Hood drama?

 

[Mancgull]

Filmed at Gin Pit village near Astley where I live. Not seen it yet though. May give it a go on catch up.

 

[Pevenseagull]

is it a Robin Hood drama?

No

But it does have at least 1 bow and several arrows.

Just finished episode 2

Starting to get a bit complicated.

 

[Gwylan]

Only seen first episode but looks really promising.

It's got a fantastic cast, including Brighton's very own Lesley Manville

For balance The Telegraph gave it 5/5 and The Times 4/5.

I haven't looked at the comments section of The Mail or The Express but I really hope they hate it.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Just watched episode 2 and the plot is thickening nicely.

Joanne Froggatt also makes good viewing ...

 

[SAC]

The first two episodes have been very good. Manville is brilliant in almost everything she does, the whole cast is a who's-who of English TV.

 

[Dr Q]

the whole cast is a who's-who of English TV.

Expecting Stephen Graham to crop up very soon

Turning out to be an impressive drama.

Lesley Sharp was the person I was expecting to see ... turns out she's not in it, don't know she missed out

 

[LamieRobertson]

Interesting series for sure …two more episodes to go

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Just watched the first episode so I'm not reading recent posts to avoid spoilers. Looks great so far.

I wish Dave would deal with the grey under roots, though. Not a good look.



Glenister looks really fit, as the older brother of the Glennister I thought I'd been looking at.

 

[Stat Brother]

Glenister looks ****ing old now.

Are you confusing Sherwood's Robert Glenister with his young brother Philip?

 

[Weststander]

I really like it.

David Morrissey is a fantastic actor, he was also great in The 7:39, for example.

 

[SAC]

Just seems to get better and better, hope the last two episodes aren't a dissapointment. Hopefully no more mentions of Notts Forest.

I can't believe that the miners strike was 38 years ago or that my children, in their 20s, knew next to nothing about it!

 

[DavidRyder]

I really like it.

David Morrissey is a fantastic actor, be was also great in The 7:39, for example.

And The Walking Dead, plays a good baddy.

I watched it by accident on Monday night. Must be good 'cos I bothered to watch last night's episode (and I'm pretty rubbish at watching tv)
