This second series in Granada's compelling crime anthoIogy looks at some of Britain's most notorious murder trials, in which both male and female defendants stood accused of the murder of women. Introduced by Robert Morley, seven hour-long dramas reconstruct sensationaI triaIs which shocked Britain, offering in-depth analyses of individuaIs' motives and methods.
The cases incIude those of bigamist George Joseph Smith, convicted of the murder of three of his wives; NeviIIe Heath, the sex attacker whose savage crimes attracted internationaI coverage; EtheI Le Neve, the mistress of Dr. Crippen whose roIe in the murder of Crippen's wife remains mysterious; and the concurrent trials of Ronald True and Henry Jacoby, murderers from opposite ends of the sociaI spectrum whose subsequent treatment sparked anger and controversy. Hannah Gordon, Christopher Cazenove, lan Charleson, Michael Jayston, Kenneth Haigh, GayIe Hunnicutt and PhyIlis CaIvert feature among the star-studded casts. |
