BBC Sherwood fans invited to red-carpet screening of new series at Nottingham cinema
There will also be a Q and A session with cast members
Fans of the hit BBC drama Sherwood have been invited to an exclusive red-carpet screening of the new series at a Nottingham cinema.
The screening will be hosted by the Broadway Cinema in Broad Street at 7pm on Monday, August 19.
Lucky fans will be treated to an exclusive screening of the first episode of the second series, followed by an in-depth panel discussion and question and answer session with writer and series creator James Graham, alongside some of the cast.
Starring Monica Dolan and David Morrissey, the first series of the drama focused on two murders that rocked a Nottinghamshire mining village.
Much of the new series was filmed in and around Nottingham, including the Council House.
Set in the present day, the first new episode introduces two new families that find themselves entangled with the Sparrows, entering a complex web of local gangs, old rivalries, revenge, and betrayal.
Meanwhile, a newly appointed Sheriff of Nottingham is passionately fighting against a proposed new mine for the area, which brings the promise of much needed jobs and prosperity but also unwelcome reminders of the legacy that has mired the community for so long.
Graham, who has written all six episodes of the new series, said: "The response to the first series of Sherwood meant the world to me, as a story set in my home town and inspired by the people, voices and experiences I grew up with.
“We are not resting on our laurels and know that a second series has to come back even stronger.
“I'm overwhelmed by the great British acting talent arriving to join some of our existing characters, and all helmed by one of the country's finest film makers in the form of director Clio Barnard and I can’t wait to return to Nottingham to premiere it.”
Spaces for the exclusive screening are limited and fans will be selected from a ballot at random.
The ballot will remain open until 11.59pm on Friday, August 9.
