Timothy Spall has drawn huge praise for his performance as Peter Farquhar, a cherished and inspirational teacher who was murdered in 2015, in the BBC One true-crime drama The Sixth Commandment.
The first episode of the show, written by Sarah Phelps, tells the story of how a twenty-something student and church warden, Ben Field (Éanna Hardwicke) tricked Farquhar into a relationship, convinced him to put him in his will, then gaslit and abused him, before murdering him.
