Just a recommendation today, as I’ve got a long journey ahead today.

If you get the chance watch the 6 part drama Sherwood which has just finished running, but can be found on BBC iplayer. Based on real life events it examines the effects made by certain political decisions on a mining community in Nottinghamshire where I grew up. It is brilliantly acted and superbly written, dealing with complex political and interpersonal relationship in a very nuanced way. The murder mysteries that put the dramatic in the drama, have many twists and turns, and add interest and excitement, but in many ways are almost incidental to the very human stories playing out.
