The drama series explores a wide range of events and facts about the murders committed at the White House Farm home. It is a series of crimes that have turned into public opinion cases. The series presents full details of these crimes and the subsequent police investigation and court case that followed everything that happened.
Fox is excellent as Bamber, capturing the arrogance that led him to believe he could get away with the murders, while Bonas is terrific as the vulnerable and heavily medicated Sheila.
White House Farm is a very good drama indeed - skilfully cast and careful to avoid ghoulishness in its handling of one Britain's most notorious murder cases.
That ten-minute stretch in the morgue was hard to watch. The scene at the end, with a reluctant vet putting down a dog, was harder still. To those like me who remember the case well, it's mesmerising.
There was no sensationalism here, minimal background music (strangely effective - others should try it) and the episode didn't end on a gaudy cliffhanger.
It is tastefully done: un-rushed where it might be fast-paced; careful rather than broad-brush. All the same, as I watched the first episode, I felt uneasy.
Is it possible [Freddie] Fox might be too good an actor for this show - a rather dingy true-crime nothingness with an exciting cast, but no script and nothing to say about the world or our place in it?
