THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT
BBC TV SERIES TRAILER
BBC has decided to give us something new in the middle of the summer and from Monday July 17th they are launching new four part true crime factual drama THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT on BBC One and their
iPlayer. It was written by Sarah Phelps who gave us A Very British Scandal. First two episodes air on the 17th and 18th and then the final two next Monday and Tuesday.

THIS BRAND NEW SERIES
tells
the story of how the meeting of an inspirational teacher, Peter
Farquhar (Timothy Spall), and a charismatic student, Ben Field (Éanna
Hardwicke), set the stage for one of the most complex and confounding
criminal cases in recent memory. It also focuses on how suspicions
around Field’s relationship with Ann Moore-Martin (Anne Reid), Peter’s
deeply
religious neighbour, unlocked a series of chilling revelations.
The Sixth Commandment explores the way in which both Peter and Ann were
manipulated by Field, capturing the extreme gaslighting, the gripping
police investigation and the high-profile trial, while poignantly
highlighting the
devastating effect of isolation and loneliness, as
Field closed in on them. It also celebrates both Peter and Ann’s lives
as cherished mentors, much loved relatives and adored friends.
