Revolves around the true story of a fateful night in August 1985 when five members of the same family are murdered at an Essex farmhouse, and the ensuing police investigation and court case that follows.
Stan and his number two Mick Clark speak to Jeremy and relatives of the murdered family, but their picture of what really happened that night at White House Farm remains inconclusive.
After a vital discovery by the family, Stan and Mick feel closer to shoring up their own suspicions about Jeremy. The arrival of a friend from New Zealand increases tension between Jeremy and Julie.

The events at White House Farm were well documented, and notorious, who on Earth would have wanted to kill the five members of the family inside.
I would start by saying that six episodes is a stretch, it should have been done over four, it does lull a little in the middle. However it's dark, gritty and at times compelling drama.
There is a message up at the start saying that it has been dramatised, there are changes, but that's artistic license.
Freddie Fox is very good as Bamber, Mark Addy is the standout as Stan, he makes it. I adore Stephen Graham, but he is woeful in this, his accent is abysmal, at times he sounds ludicrous, why on Earth did they not cast Richard Harrington?
Ignore the ludicrous one star reviews, they obviously didn't bother watching it. 7/10.
