is inspired by the 2004 manhunt for two killers in north Nottinghamshire; Robert Boyer, who escaped into Annesley Forest after killing former miner Keith Frogson, and Terry Rodgers, who killed his daughter Chanel Taylor at around the same time and also fled into the woods.

The former was detained in hospital indefinitely after being apprehended by police. Rodgers, however, died during a hunger strike as he was due to face trial for his daughter’s murder. A police helicopter flies low over woodland during the 2004 manhunt for murderers Robert Boyer and Terry Rodgers.is very much influenced by these real-life events, writers and producers have stressed that the drama itself is fictional.There most certainly is and it’s got all the makings of a truly stellar BBC drama. In it, we see flashbacks to the 1984 miners’ strike and the persisting tensions decades on in this small town.
