Description:
Part 2 of 4 of the period mystery from 1979. Julia Bickleigh's health begins to mysteriously deteriorate as her husband begins to put his plan of murder into action. But as Edmund plots the perfect murder, things do not go according to plan, while an unforseen event throws him completely by surprise.<br/><br/>Starring Hywel Bennett, Judy Parfitt, Cheryl Campbell, Belinda Carroll, Christopher Guard, David Ashford, Doreen Mantle, Michael Lees, Harold Innocent, Elizabeth Stewart, Briony McRoberts, Rohan McCullough, John Harvey, Susan Porrett, Shirley Cain, Mary Laine and Vivienne Moore. This is from an old recording, but has never been repeated on UK TV since it's broadcast in 1979, so apologies in advance for any picture quality issues there may be. It's a charming period mystery thriller, marked by a superb performance by Hywel Bennett, who ranges from pathetic, sympathetic, funny and sinister as the would be murderer. But this episode belongs to Judy Parfitt as Hywel's domieering wife Julia, who still elicts our sympathy, especially with what she goes through in this episode.
