Edward Woodward introduces another episode of real life crimes, the first deals with actress Molly Moselle, who disappeared after a failed relationship. In 'Maundy Money, the death of a former socialist politician.
The case of Molly Moselle was a definite tragedy, a 33 year old actress, who hadn't quite made it, guilty of one thing, falling in love with the wrong man. This first segment was so well made, very nicely acted with very good production. Some really interesting first hand insight, from Molly's relatives.
What a tragic figure Molly was, two failed relationships and a tragic ending, I can't help but wonder if she was still alive when this episode was first transmitted.
In the second case, an artist, Flemwell is convinced he's spotted a politician called Victor Grayson on an electric boat, a man he once painted. Grayson dies, implicated in his death is Maundy Gregory, a man with big connections and knowledge of certain secrets. This was a fascinating case, the cash for honours scandal is worth reading about.
I enjoyed this second segment very much, a case I was previously unaware of, once again the historical detail is spot on, Sue Johnston was great, she cut a wonderfully shady figure as M'Lady.
Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable second episode, two really engaging stories, wonderfully introduced by Edward Woodward.
I am so very grateful to the team at Talking Pictures TV, they are genuinely putting on content that I want to watch, I have hunted for this show for many years, how nice to be able to sit down and watch one of the best shows from my childhood.
8/10.
