The Sixth Commandment is the BBC’s new true crime drama written by A Very British Scandal’s Sarah Phelps and is set to be incredibly heart-wrenching and impactful.
Whilst the cases that are explored in some crime shows were investigated decades ago, the chilling events depicted in The Sixth Commandment took place much more recently. The same year ITV’s true crime drama Manhunt was released - 2019 - Ben Field was convicted for the murder of Peter Farquhar and for defrauding Ann Martin-Moore. Played in The Sixth Commandment by Timothy Spall, some of Peter’s family and friends have spoken out about the show ahead of its release and about their memories of his life. Anne Reid stars alongside Timothy as Ann in the BBC drama, with Éanna Hardwicke playing Field.
