This disturbing and compelling anthology series helps lay to rest the long-cherished idea that women are the gentler sex. Lady KiIlers presents dramatic reconstructions of seven infamous murder trials where in each case the defendant was femaIe; if convicted, alI faced the galIows.
From the horrifying case of Victorian 'baby farmer' AmeIia Dyer - suspected of strangIing hundreds of infants in her care - to the triaI and execution of Ruth EIIis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain, Lady KiIIers Iooks at crimes which shocked and scandalised a nation, examining the individual's motives and often brutaI methods in depth. Introduced by Robert MorIey, these dramas feature powerfuI performances from an outstanding cast which incIudes EIaine Paige, Joan Sims, Rita Tushingham, George Baker, Peter SaIlis and MichaeI Kitchen, among others. |
