About this deal

Other main cast members include the lovely Diane Baker (although strangely not a great performance as compared to the pilot for The Invaders or the final episode of The Fugitive) and Dame Judith Anderson as the housekeeper (another great performance). Was initially disappointed to read (on TPTV's Facebook page) that it was not turned into a full series.

about each case/story (and they're not random, unconnected locations, they're connected to the case/story). I went into last Saturday evening's episode of In Suspicious Circumstances thinking that the second of the two stories/cases wouldn't be as good. Phillipe is a lonely boy living in a large house where his diplomat father and mother are frequently away.

In Suspicious Circumstances is a British true crime drama television series produced by Granada Television for ITV between 3 June 1991 and 11 October 1996. It did feel like his links in this episode were filmed at a much later date compared to those in the previous three episodes (and yet the copyright year at the end of the end credits was the same as the one for episode 3 (the year 1992).

It did say in the listings that Jackpot was a 'lost' film, so I should have expected the transfer not to be great (it was rough in parts, with it looking like some footage was missing with the jump cuts and the abrupt ending). Nevertheless, as a narrative account of crimes in the Twentieth Century – some of which have been largely forgotten – the series exerts a strong, albeit sometimes ghoulish, fascination. Some terrific acting, there are several well known faces that you'll recognise and enjoy, look out for the likes of Aidan Gillen, Paul Freeman and Geraldine James. I think TPTV posted on their Facebook page recently (in response to a question about the programme) that there were five series in total of In Suspicious Circumstances. Heartbroken wives, planning to end it all, did not, it seemed to me, hurl themselves down their own staircases.When these turn out to be untrue later in the film, we see the boy questioning his whole view of Baines who he suspects may have murdered his wife – though we, the audience, know better having witnessed it ourselves. I noted down a few pubs like the ‘The Star Tavern’ in Belgrave Mews West SW1 and the haunted ‘Grenadier’ in Wilson Row, both of which remain little changed since filming took place. Not perfect (the cliff ending is somewhat predictable, although the scene before is tense and very good) but recommended for the reasons above, either on their catch up or when it is rerun.
