You might be wondering what happened to Ben Field and where he is now after watching Éanna Hardwicke’s portrayal of him in the BBC’s The Sixth Commandment.
Following on from the release of true crime dramas, The Steeltown Murders earlier this year, the BBC’s latest offering, The Sixth Commandment, is utterly heart-wrenching. The four-part drama stars Éanna Hardwicke as convicted killer Ben Field who wormed his way into the lives of Peter Farquhar and Ann Moore-Martin, played by Timothy Spall and Anne Reid. The Sixth Commandment’s depiction of his crimes is a deeply poignant watch as Peter and Ann welcome the man who would go on to be charged with murder and fraud.
